2024 NSE Research Expo
The MIT Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering hosts its annual Research Expo on April 26, 2024. The event will showcase NSE research from across the Department.
A first-ever complete map for elastic strain engineering
The “map”, or the phonon stability boundary, a graphical representation that plots the stability regions of a crystal as a function of strain. This map helps scientists and engineers determine the conditions under which a material can exist in a particular phase...
Technique could improve the sensitivity of quantum sensing devices
The method lets researchers identify and control larger numbers of atomic-scale defects, to build a bigger system of qubits.
Guoqing Wang: Exploring quantum phenomena through an engineering perspective
Guoqing Wang loves to play the erhu, a Chinese stringed musical instrument, remembering lessons he learned from his father as a young boy. He sees similarities between the music from the bowed instrument and the research subject he works on today: quantum...
Masashi Hirose: Democratizing access to quantum
Masashi Hirose was a high-schooler in Nagoya, Japan, when he first picked up a book about quantum physics. Most of the scientific phenomena he knew about until then seemed to have been studied thoroughly and were well-established entities. But quantum, with concepts...
Physicists trap electrons in a 3D crystal for the first time
The results, published by a team of MIT researchers including Prof Mingda Li, open the door to exploring superconductivity and other exotic electronic states in three-dimensional materials.
Paola Cappellaro elected 2023 American Physical Society Fellow
Nominated by the Division of Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physics, Professor Cappellaro was cited, “[f]or groundbreaking contributions to quantum control and quantum sensing with spin systems.”
2023 Del Favero Thesis Prize
Xu will deliver the Del Favero Thesis Prize Lecture on the topic of his PhD work — optical control over nuclear degrees of freedom.
Sensing and controlling microscopic spin density in materials
NSE’s Guoqing Wang, Paola Cappellaro and Ju Lishow that they may be able to develop new quantum sensors or quantum simulations by fine-tuning the spin density in some materials.
Cancelling noise for improving quantum devices
For years, researchers have tried various ways to coax quantum bits — or qubits, the basic building blocks of quantum computers — to remain in their quantum state for ever-longer times, a key step in creating devices like quantum sensors, gyroscopes and...
