Researchers have pioneered the design and manipulation of photonic orbitals through specific material arrangements, leading to potential advancements in optical technologies and quantum computing.
In their recent paper, scientists from the University of Twente in the Netherlands have gained important insights into the elementary particles that make up light. These particles, photons, ‘behave’ in an amazingly greater variety than electrons surrounding atoms, while also being much easier to control. These new insights have broad applications from smart LED lighting to new photonic bits of information controlled with quantum circuits, to sensitive nano-sensors.
