Quantum Science With Rare-Earth Ions In CrystalsRare-earth ions in crystals, when strongly coupled with optical and superconducting resonators, form a novel platform that facilitates the exploration of quantum many-body physics and the development of light-matter interfaces for the future quantum internet. Through the utilization of a large ensemble of Ytterbium-171 ions doped into a high-cooperativity nanophotonic ...

Born at the dawn of the new millennium, attosecond “photography†has opened the door for capturing sub-atomic motions as they evolve in time. Control of the oscillating electric field of light has permitted the attosecond control of electrons with unprecedented precision in space and time.Fundamental quantum phenomena, such as electron ...
