Scientists are racing to develop new materials for quantum technologies in computing and sensing for ultraprecise ...

Raman spectroscopy experiments show that the interaction between electrons and phonons in graphene resembles the Dirac fermion–photon coupling in quantum electrodynamics. In the early days of ...

The entanglement isn’t between the molecules, atoms or any other particles that make up the resonators, but between the “phonons” that occupy the resonators. These are the nanoscale mechanical ...

Phonons, the quantum mechanical vibrations of atoms in solids, are often sources of noise in solid-state quantum systems, including quantum technologies, which can lead to decoherence and thus ...

Heat carried by lattice vibrations, known as phonons in quantized form, is particularly detrimental to thermoelectric performance. The crucial insight is that the phonons that are responsible for ...

"This technique allows us to study surface phonons -- the collective vibrations of atoms at a material's surface or interface between materials," said Zhaodong Chu, a postdoctoral researcher at ...

In this work we study phonon-assisted luminescence by means of a newly derived approach that include the coupling between excitons and phonons. We found that luminescence inh-BN is dominated by phonon ...
