Study finds photons can show a quantum Hall effect under strong fields

Physicists have for the first time observed light drifting sideways in discrete, quantized steps, reproducing a quantum Hall effect that was previously seen only in electrons confined to ultra-thin ...

For the first time, light copies a legendary Nobel quantum trick

An international team of researchers has forced light to replicate the quantum Hall effect, a Nobel Prize–winning phenomenon that, until now, belonged almost exclusively to electrons moving through ...

Physicists watch light drift in quantized steps for the first time

In physics, the classical "Hall effect," discovered in the late 19th century, describes how a transverse voltage is generated when an electric current is exposed to a perpendicular magnetic field.

A superradiant clock phase emerges when Rydberg atoms meet quantum light, simulations suggest

Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly with each other. These atoms are widely used to run quantum simulations and ...
