Researchers at the University of East Anglia have proposed a new way of using quantum light to ‘see’ quantum sound.
A new paper published today reveals the quantum-mechanical interplay between vibrations and particles of light, known as photons, in molecules.
It is hoped that the discovery may help scientists better understand the interactions between light and matter on molecular scales.
And it potentially paves the way for addressing fundamental questions about the importance of quantum effects in applications ranging from new quantum technologies to biological systems.
Dr Magnus Borgh from UEA’s School of Physics said: “There is a long-standing controversy in chemical physics about the nature of processes where energy from particles of light is transferred ...
