When light interacts with matter, it can produce unique quasi-particles known as polaritons. These particles are half light and half matter. Polaritons have been studied by physicists for a few decades now, with researchers exploring their potential for developing highly performing lasers or other technologies.

Factorizing large numbers is a difficult task that requires a significant amount of computational effort. However, physicists at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, have created a new blueprint for a quantum computer that can solve the factorization problem. This is a significant development as factorization is a cornerstone of modern cryptography. Current Computing Methods Today’s
In the field of physics, it is common to encounter different scales that can be separately described. For instance, the movement of an elephant walking in a zoo does not affect the Earth’s orbit around the sun. Similarly, the behavior of particles in materials research can be described on different scales. However, finding out which
