Fractional statistics of anyons in a two-dimensional conductor
By implementing a collider experiment between the elementary excitations of a two-dimensional conductor, physicists have revealed the fractional statistics of anyons, interpolating between fermionic and bosonic statistics. These results could open the way to topological quantum computing based on …

A supercontinuum light source in the O-band communication window, compatible with industrial CMOS processes
A team of researchers at C2N, in a collaboration with STMicroelectronics, have demonstrated a two-octave spanning supercontinuum generation in the O-band, a major communication window. These are the first results reported using a silicon nitride waveguide on a “back-end-of-line” …

First ultra-low threshold continuous-wave lasing in Germanium-Tin
Transistors in computer chips work electrically, but the data can be transmitted more quickly with light. Researchers have therefore been looking for a way to integrate a laser directly into silicon chips for a long time. Researchers at C2N, …
