Microwave-free nuclear magnetic resonance at molecular scales
Nature Communications, 2017 Nitrogen vacancy centres can be used for nanoscale nuclear magnetic resonance detection but this typically involves strong microwave control pulses, making practical realizations difficult.

A quantum physical argument for panpsychism [PDF]
, 2011 It has been widely thought that consciousness has no causal efficacy in the physical world. However, this may be not the case. In this paper, we show that a conscious being can distinguish definite perceptions and their quantum superpositions, while a ...

Stress‐to‐Light Conversion in an Earth‐Abundant Oxide Semiconductor
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Stress‐to‐light conversion in solids represents a unique photonic functionality, yet it has never been realized in a chemically simple and sustainable material. Here, we show that sustainable semiconductor ZnO exhibits strong near‐infrared (NIR) luminescence under elastic stress when defect‐engineered to stabilize the p‐type state.

Quantum jumps are more quantum than quantum diffusion
New Journal of Physics, 2014 It was recently argued (Wiseman and Gambetta 2012 Phys. Rev. Lett. http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.220402 108 http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.220402 ) that the stochastic dynamics (jumps or diffusion) of an open quantum system are not

V2CTx MXene as a Sacrificial Promoter for NiFe Catalyst for Anion Exchange Membrane Electrolyzers
Advanced Science, EarlyView.These findings demonstrate that V2CTx functions beyond passive conductive support as an active electronic participant whose structural legacy sustains durable performance even after vanadium leaching in Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) Electrolysers. ABSTRACT Nickel‐iron layered double hydroxides (NiFe‐LDH) show excellent activity, their poor conductivity

Highly efficient storage of cavity SPDC single photons in room temperature gradient echo memory
APL QuantumEfficient quantum memories will be an essential building block of large-scale networked quantum systems and provide a link between flying photonic qubits and atomic or quasi-atomic local quantum processors.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.We investigate the geometry‐governed optoelectronic anisotropy arising from dielectric confinement in quasi‐1D γ‐GaS nanoribbons with intrinsically isotropic atomic structures. Dielectric mismatch between the nanoribbon and its surroundings leads to a general polarization‐dependent photoresponse during near‐field scattering.

Backflash Attack on Coherent One-Way Quantum Key Distribution
IEEE Photonics JournalIn this article, we experimentally demonstrate an eavesdropper's (Eve's) information gain by exploiting the breakdown flash generated by the single photon avalanche detector (SPAD) used in coherent one-way quantum key distribution (COW-QKD)
