Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...

THE writer has found the following simple arrangement well adapted for the study of the visibility of fringes arising from a double slit and a “source” slit of variable width. A double slit, ruled ...

Scientists have hypothesized that moir excitons -- electron-hole pairs confined in moir interference fringes which overlap with slightly offset patterns -- may function as qubits in next-generation ...

The bandgap, i.e. the energy gap between the highest lying valence and the lowest lying conduction band, is a defining property of insulating solids, governing how they absorb light and conduct ...

Exciton polaritons are hybrid light-matter quantum states arising from strong coupling, offering a unique platform for ...

Interference fringes of (a) coherent longitudinal optical (LO) phonons and (b) coherent oscillation of LO phonon-plasmon coupled oscillation in n-type GaAs and (c) optical intereference of the pump ...
