Exploring the elasticity of multiferroic materials
Multiferroics are materials that simultaneously display a ferroelectric and a magnetic order, which in some cases interact. The combination of these properties holds promises for future hybrid computing architectures that transform information from one state into...
Molecular spintronics: a short movie
The European FET-OPEN COSMICS project, of which the MPQ laboratory (resp. Amandine Bellec) is one of the 6 partners, has developed a short movie presenting molecular spintronics and the challenges of the project. The project is based on a collaboration between...
A metasurface for non-linear optical generation with full phase control
Researchers of the DON team at MPQ lab have obtained the first dielectric optical metasurface generating second harmonic with full phase control. Figure: SEM image of a Fresnel lens designed to focus a second-harmonic signal.Thanks to this breakthrough, they achieved...
Semiconductor chips for the engineering of high-dimensional quantum states
High-dimensional entangled states of light provide novel possibilities for quantum information, from fundamental tests of quantum mechanics to enhanced computation and communication protocols. In this context, the frequency degree of freedom combines the assets of...
