Observing vibrational coherences which appear as quantum beats on a spectrograph, and catching an elusive quasiparticle-Exciton polaron. The spectrograph records a projection of macroscopic ...

Scientists have observed anyons -- quasiparticles that differ from the familiar fermions and bosons -- in a one-dimensional quantum system for the first time. The results may contribute to a better ...

What just happened? Physicists have managed to turn light particles into what they describe as an "exotic state of matter" – a one-dimensional gas. They did this by confining the photons in a tiny ...
