  • ITMO Physicists Describe New Superfast Quantum Processes in Radiation

    Researchers at ITMO University have suggested a model for the visualization of superfast dynamic processes in light-radiating particles – and used it to predict new quantum phenomena. In contrast to the new model, existing methods can only be used to describe static processes, which significantly limits research options and presents a simplified view of the studied phenomena. Using the newly developed model, it will be possible to learn more about the nature of atoms, increase the efficiency of particle accelerator experiments, and create more accurate devices for the space industry and biomedicine. The related study was published in Communications Physics.

  • ITMO Scientists Achieve Record-Breaking Efficiency of Terahertz Radiation in Liquids

    Physicists from ITMO University have improved the method of converting optical radiation into terahertz radiation using a liquid, which until recently was thought of as unpromising. Nevertheless, the achieved efficiency of the conversion in such a medium is a record-breaking 0.1%. It’s a proven fact that terahertz radiation, unlike X-radiation, is harmless and can be used in medicine, security systems, ecological monitoring, analysis of art objects, and in the food industry. A research paper on the subject was published in the Communications Physics journal. This research is supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation (RSF).
