• Scientists Predict Two-Photon Analog to Quantum Hall Effect

  The discovery of the quantum Hall effect once got its authors a Nobel prize. Previously, it has only been observed in very complex semiconductor structures with an external magnetic field. ITMO scientists and their colleagues predicted a photonic analog to the quantum Hall effect in a much simpler system – a chain of particles in a waveguide, which opens up new opportunities for creating quantum memory and quantum simulators.

• Why is Quantum Physics so Hard to Understand?

  Quantum mechanics is deemed the hardest part of physics. Systems with quantum behavior don’t follow the rules that we are used to, they are hard to see and hard to “feel”, can have controversial features, exist in several different states at the same time - and even change depending on whether they are observed or not. Valerii Kozin, PhD student at the Faculty of Physics and Engineering and researcher at the International Laboratory of Light-Matter Coupling in Nanostructures, talks about the ways of researching such unpredictable phenomena, and why study quantum mechanics in the first place.
