New quantum optics technique sheds light on polariton interactions
An international collaboration, led by Macquarie University scientists, has introduced a new quantum optics technique that can provide unprecedented access to the fundamental properties of light-matter interactions in semiconductors.
The research, published Jan. 15 in the journal Nature Physics, uses a novel spectroscopic technique to explore interactions between photons and electrons at the quantum scale.
Professor Thomas Volz, co-author of the study and research group leader at Macquarie University’s School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, says the work has the potential to drive a breakthrough in the global quest for accessible quantum photonic technologies.

Scientists think this weird-looking, odd-smelling fruit holds the key to fighting world hunger as temperatures rise
Innovative! Drought resistant and doesn’t need a lot of fertilizer. And it smells like bread. Especially good for Africa which was mentioned.
This fruit curiously smells like baking bread and tastes like potatoes – and it might also provide a means to help feed communities amid drought and famine.
Breadfruit, despite its name, is not made of bread. It’s a tall tree native to islands in the Pacific that produces a starchy fruit, similar to a jackfruit.
Researchers at Northwestern University have been studying breadfruit because they believe it could help feed the world as our more vulnerable crops are plunged into jeopardy due to rising global temperatures.
