• Physicists Discover: Light Spin Behaves Like Slowing-Down Spinning Top

  Researchers have uncovered that the spin of light can develop patterns like those of a spinning top: the spin vector moves along the surface of an inverted cone. Previously, this dynamic was thought to appear exclusively in particles with a magnetic momentum and not in photons. The discovery can potentially find applications in optical spintronics – a field in which information is transferred and processed using the spin of light instead of an electron as in traditional spintronics. The results of this RSF-supported study were published and featured as an Editors’ Suggestion in Physical Review B.

• ITMO-Developed AI Agent Connects Publications, Authors, and Code

  Researchers at ITMO’s Institute for Artificial Intelligence have developed PAUK – the nation’s first open-source software that builds an interactive research connections map using a multi-source dataset: research organizations, employees and their publications, and code repositories. The service works as both a search engine and a map: users can find similar and related developments, authors, researchers, papers, and repositories based on a single article. The project was presented at the 22nd Conference of Open Source Developers in Pereslavl-Zalessky.

• From Medicine to Rock Formation Analysis: MRI Applications and Development in Russia

  Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI for short, is used in medical diagnostics, geological studies, and product quality analysis. Every year, the list of its applications expands – and so does demand for specialists familiar with the principles of MRI devices and capable of developing new analysis methods. In response to this demand, ITMO has launched MRI School, the only one of its kind in Russia. ITMO NEWS spoke to Ekaterina Bruy, the school’s organizer and a senior researcher at ITMO’s Scientific and Educational Center of Radiophysics, to learn how MRI is applied beyond medicine and how the technology is developed in Russia.

• ITMO Scientists First to Describe Full Photon Lifecycle in Time and Space

  Physicists from ITMO’s Faculty of Physics have developed a spatial phase method to describe not only the characteristics of an already formed photon, but also the formation of its field in both time and space. Using the Wigner function, the researchers investigated Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation and demonstrated that its spatial structure can retain information about the quantum state of the electron that generated it. The results of the study are published in Physical Review A.
