• ITMO Researchers Discover New Type of Singularity – Exceptional Bound States in the Continuum

  A team of scientists from Russia, China, Austria, and the UK have found a new, previously considered impossible type of singularity, namely exceptional bound states in the continuum. The finding opens the door to producing energy-efficient optical transistors, modulators, and switches, as well as next-gen ultrasensitive sensors that can detect viruses and proteins more effectively. The results of the study were published in Physical Review Letters.

• New Method of Quantum Entanglement Generation Suggested at ITMO

  The university’s scientists have come up with a versatile way to generate quantum correlations and entanglements that makes it possible to dynamically change the system’s parameters and tweak photon characteristics such as bunching and antibunching. This study paves the way towards coding entangled states in superconducting qubits and processing quantum information on next-gen optical chips.

• ITMO Scientists Design a Model to Protect Quantum Computing From Disorder

  Scientists from ITMO’s School of Physics and Engineering have predicted that topological states that occur in a two-dimensional array of superconducting qubits make the system robust to disorders. This may allow scientists to make certain algorithms of quantum computing resilient to defects in the structure, which opens up new opportunities for the design of superconducting quantum processors.

• ITMO Physicists Prove Feasibility of Non-Radiating States in Compact Acoustic Resonators: New Discovery Will Benefit Development of Acoustic Antennas and Sensors

  Researchers from ITMO University’s Faculty of Physics have succeeded in disproving a non-existence theorem which states that oscillations in open resonance systems must fade out by radiating energy into the surrounding medium. The physicists were able to calculate the shapes of acoustic resonators for which this theorem would not apply. In the resulting system, the energy of oscillations does not radiate into the surrounding space and remains within the resonator. Results of this research will facilitate the development of acoustic antennas and sensors.

• Scientists Explain Why Paradise State Is Hard to Reach

  Authors of a paper on social relations’ modelling have adapted the popular model of human interaction in a society by adding individual preferences. According to the initial theory, human relations may reach a “paradise state” at some point. However, the new model contradicts this idea.

• ITMO University Physicists Discover Proof of Nobel Laureate Frank Wilczek’s Time Crystal Hypothesis

  Two ITMO University physicists – PhD student Valerii Kozin and ITMO Fellow Oleksandr Kyriienko – have described genuine time crystals in an article in Physical Review Letters. These structures’ existence was first suggested by Frank Wilczek, laureate of the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics, but other studies have asserted the impossibility of creating environments in which these crystals would exist. ITMO.NEWS spoke to Valerii Kozin to find out what time crystals really are, how the two scientists were able to prove the existence of a system in which they would exist, and what Einstein has got to do with it.
