ITMO Physicists Discover New Physical Effect
…There is a relatively simple experiment that can be performed at home. You only need five components: a small metal plate, a regular battery, a magnet, a pair of wires, and a voltmeter. All of these components can be found in any radio kit. The plate must be connected to the battery, and its end faces – to the voltmeter. The arrow of the measuring device will rem…

ITMO Scientists Propose Systems With Unique Interaction Between Photons and Mechanical Motion of Atoms
…nd actively studied quantum Rabi model. The latter describes the interaction of a two-level system placed in an optical resonator (an arrangement of mirrors) and the electromagnetic field of the resonator. This model has a Z2 symmetry, and the states describing this system can be divided into two categories: while some are characterized by an even number of excit…
