Scientists tame photon-magnon interaction.
Working with theorists in the University of Chicago s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, researchers in the U.S. Department of Energy s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have achieved a scientific control that is a first of its kind. They demonstrated a novel approach that allows real-time control of the interactions between microwave photons and magnons, potentially leading to advances in electronic devices and quantum signal processing.
