Visualizing Excitons, Confirming Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, OIST Research Pushes Quantum Technology
Scientists capture first ever image of an electron’s orbit within an exciton In a world-first, researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) have captured an image showing the internal orbits, or spatial distribution, of particles in an exciton – a goal that had eluded scientists for almost a century. Excitons […]

Harnessing the Power of a Single Photon to Move Electrons
Harnessing the Power of a Single Photon to Move Electrons. The Quantum Dynamics Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology has demonstrated microwave influence of electrons. The team of researchers trapped electrons in a super-cooled, vacuum-sealed chamber where the electrons were bombarded with microwaves. The particles and microwave photons “altered each other’s movement and […]
