Quantum behavior is a strange, fragile thing that hovers on the edge of reality, between a world of possibility and a Universe of absolutes.
Magnets are already used in our current computers, and they have been at the helm ofQuantum computers could be next, with magnetic materials: pairs of particles such as electrons whose directional spins are linked, albeit momentarily, on a quantum level.
Conscious of the demand for rare earth minerals used in batteries, El-Gendy and colleagues experimented instead with a mixture of materials known aminoferrocene andOnly when the researchers synthesized the material in a sequence of steps, rather than adding all the composite ingredients at once, did the material exhibit its magnetism at room temperature.
The sequential synthesis method sandwiched the aminoferrocene between two sheets of graphene oxide, and produced a material 100 times more magnetic than pure iron. Further experiments confirmed the material retained its magnetic properties at and above room temperature. "These findings open routes of room temperature long-range order molecular magnets and their potential for quantum computing and data storage applications," El-Gendy and colleagues

New quasi-particle bridges microwave and optical domainsIn a paper published today (Sept. 18) in Nature Communications, researchers from the Paul-Drude-Institut in Berlin, Germany, and the Instituto Balseiro in Bariloche, Argentina, demonstrated that the mixing of confined quantum fluids of light and GHz sound leads to the emergence of an elusive phonoriton quasi-particle—in part a quantum of light (photon), a quantum of sound (phonon) and a semiconductor exciton. This discovery opens a novel way to coherently convert information between optical and microwave domains, bringing potential benefits to the fields of photonics, optomechanics and optical communication technologies.
