Quantum time freezing: Lasers freeze quantum states a thousand times longer

Using powerful laser and X-ray pulses, researchers from Harvard and the Scherrer Institute have succeeded in breaking electronic symmetry and trapping a long-lasting quantum state – a move that could lead to breakthroughs in information storage and optoelectronic devices.
The new method makes it possible to determine very quickly which substances, such as proteins and others, make up a product that is in powder form. [Courtesy of Iben Julie Schmidt]

Do you see the shape of a hand in the new x-ray image? The hand may look just like an x-ray at the doctor's, but it is actually a cloud of material ejected from an exploding star. The array of telescopes capable of nuclear spectroscopy Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array or NuSTAR for short (NuSTAR) photographed the structure in the field of high X frequencies for the first time. Earlier image, lower-energy X-rays taken by the Chandra Space Telescope are seen in green and red in the image. Photo: NASA/JPL-Caltech/McGill

The method combines computed tomography (CT) - capable of providing "slices" of the XNUMXD structure (the circles) - together with X-rays that provide an image of the distribution of the particles within the structure (PDFs, visible in the graphs) in order to present the information regarding the nanoscale structure and chemistry ( the different colors) inside the material, pixel by pixel and in XNUMXD [courtesy of Columbia University].
