A new quantum device can generate precisely controlled bursts of sound-like particles, or phonons, by forcing electrons through an ultra-thin crystal at extremely low temperatures. The surprising ...

When a singer belts out a tune while a guitar player strums along, sound waves travel through the air, driving collective oscillations of the molecules within. Meanwhile, at the quantum level, ...

While many plans for quantum computers transmit data using the particles of light known as photons, researchers from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) ...

Researchers at McGill University have developed a novel device that generates sound-like particles known as phonons at extremely cold temperatures. The technology could be used to create phonon lasers ...

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if machines could hear the world in ways far beyond human ears? For years, computers have been good at recognizing speech, canceling noise and simulating ...

Quantum entanglement has shifted from a philosophical puzzle to a design brief for engineers working at the scale of atoms, photons and phonons. As researchers learn to control this fragile ...
