Theoretical Discovery Shines Photons in New Light

HANOVER, N.H., Dec. 29, 2021 — A study from Dartmouth College and SUNY Polytechnic suggests that split photons, called Majorana bosons, exist. The finding advances the fundamental understanding of light, and how it behaves, thanks to the proposed theory that relies on energy-leaking dissipating cavities that are coupled and filled with quantum packets of light. The research predicts that particle halves appear at the edges of such a synthetic platform. “This is a major paradigm change of how we understand light in a way that was not believed to be possible,” said Lorenza Viola, the James Frank Family...Read full article

    topological photonics
    Topological photonics is a branch of physics and optics that explores the application of topological concepts to the behavior of light in photonic systems. Drawing inspiration from the field of topological insulators in condensed matter physics, topological photonics investigates the manipulation and control of light waves in a way that is robust against certain imperfections or disorder. Key features and concepts in topological photonics include: Topological insulators: In condensed matter...
