A new study finds a unique form of tunable and ultrastrong spin-spin interactions in orthoferrites under a strong magnetic field. The discovery has implications for quantum simulation and sensing.

A study found chirality, or handedness, does in fact determine the strength of a coupling between nuclear spins. Findings could lead to better methods of probing electrons and spin in chemical and ...

What if electricity and magnetism, usually considered as separate or even competing forces in materials, could actually work together in harmony?

A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The ...

Nuclear dipolar coupling is beneficial in that it is present whenever nuclear–spin qubits are close to each other, while it complicates two-qubit operation because the qubits must remain ...

Electric charge is no longer required to carry information as scientists find a practical way to use spintronics in graphene.

A spin-orbit coupling of an unusual nature, termed Zeeman spin-orbit coupling is expected to manifest itself in a wide range of ferromagnetic conductors.

Spin–orbit coupling links the motion of a particle to its quantum spin. For example, an electron has two possible spin states: up and down. Spin–orbit coupling means that otherwise identical electrons ...

This effect is called spin-orbit coupling and is particularly strong in this material. The result is that the spin-3/2 state – which combines spin and orbital angular momentum – is the lowest energy ...

Spin-orbit coupling is one of the fundamental effects in quantum physics. It plays a vital role in many basic physic phenomena and exotic quantum states. These phenomena led to the foundation of ...

A Rice University-led study finds a unique form of tunable and ultrastrong spin-spin interactions in orthoferrites under a strong magnetic field. The discovery has implications for quantum ...
