Interrogating emergent nonequilibrium phenomena in light-driven quantum materials requires probing microscopic spin, charge and orbital excitations at ultrafast timescales. In this Perspective, time-resolved resonant inelastic X-ray scattering is discussed as a nascent method to investigate photoinduced states of matter.
The neutron-rich, weakly bound fluorine isotope 29F has been extensively investigated theoretically, but its significance has been revived by recent experiments. The authors present the latest developments and make prediction on the electromagnetic transitions occurring in this isotope that may be observed in the near future.
Drawing around 140 attendees to the serene hills of Tuscany, Italy, February’s Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Ultrafast Phenomena in Cooperative Systems explored recent advances in the understanding of light-induced phases of condensed matter.
Quantum information processing holds promise to achieve more secure data transfer in the current network of telecommunication fibres. Here, the authors review recent works implementing spatial division multiplexing in optical fibres and discuss their potential for quantum communication in classical networks.
