Quantum Sensors for GPS-free Orientation

Along each of the three axes of measurement, a mechanical accelerometer is connected to the reference mirror of the atom interferometer, resulting in a classic/quantum hybridization that permits continual acceleration measurement with an ultralow proclivity. Measurements of the three vector components are utilized to determine the acceleration vector in any direction. The sensor is...

Electrons Zoom Along Quantum Highways in New Material

Scientists showed how MnBi6Te10, shown here in purple (tellurium), blue (bismuth) and green (manganese), can act as a magnetic topological insulator, conducting electrical current (blue) along a “quantum highway” without losing energy. The study revealed that a concerted action of different material defects is key to the quantum electronic properties. Credit: University of ChicagoQuantum...
