University of British Columbia Develops New Laser Technique to Image Quantum World

By IQT News posted 10 Dec 2019

(Phys.org) Researchers at the University of British Columbia have been able to record, frame-by-frame, how an electron interacts with certain atomic vibrations in a solid. Controlling these interactions is important for the technological exploitation of quantum materials, including superconductors, which are used in MRI machines, high-speed magnetic levitation trains, and could one day revolutionize how energy is transported.
The research team at UBC’s Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute (SBQMI) developed a new extreme-ultraviolet laser source to enable a technique called time-resolved photoemission spectroscopy for visualizing electron scattering processes at ultrafast timescales.
“Thanks to recent advances in pulsed-laser sources, we’re only just beginning to visualize the dynamic properties of quantum materials,” said Jones, a professor with UBC’s SBQMI and department of Physics and Astronomy.
