Bosonic quasiparticles such as magnons show much promise for enabling on-chip quantum information technologies that can be scaled down to the nanoscale, but their too-short lifetime has held back such applications until now. An international team of physicists says it has now increased this lifetime by a hundredfold, thanks to the discovery of a new class of magnons known as short-wavelength dipole-exchange magnons.
