A group of researchers have proposed a surface plasmon polariton amplification mechanism.

Disorder effects on interacting quantum many-body systems have recently seen rapidly rising interest.

Intense optical vortices work together to fling neutral atoms with accelerations trillions of times that of the earth.

Possible mechanisms for energy transfer based on ‘rare’ or ‘non-perturbative’ effects, in physical systems that present a many-body localized phenomenology are reviewed.

Decoherence plays an important role in quantum mechanics. In general, uncontrolled interaction of a quantum system with its environment will cause it to lose its quantum properties. Controlled decoherence or dissipation, on the other hand, can be used to engineer...
