Mapping in real space antiferromagnetic order at nanoscale
Using an artificial atom in diamond as an ultrasensitive magnetic field detector, physicists have for the first time imaged the leakage field radiated by a compound of the vast family of antiferromagnets. This observation allowed them to study the …

A topological laser realized at the C2N
The work of researchers from the Centre de Nanosciences et de Nanotechnologies (CNRS - Université Paris-Sud) in Marcoussis, France, in collaboration with a researcher from the Università di Trento in Italy, has led to a major breakthrough in topological …

Heat Coulomb Blockade of one Ballistic Channel
Quantum physics rules charge and heat transport in low dimensional conductors. Exploring the new quantum laws of heat transport is a particularly challenging field of research. Indeed, there is no thermal equivalent of the ammeter and applying small but …

Emit light photon by photon
Using an artificial atom capable of blocking or letting the photons of a laser pass by, CNRS researchers, in collaboration with the University of Queensland, have taken an important step towards the development of deterministic quantum optical logic gates. …

Yellow nano-bricks road for the light
For a long time optics evolution was based on the exploitation of the properties of so-called "natural" optical media, which are homogeneous and continuous on the wavelength scale. The advent of metamaterials dawned the era of new artificial media …
