A magic twist
19 Sept 2024
A group led by LMU physicist Dmitri Efetov has successfully detected single photons in the infrared range
An international team from LMU, Harvard University and the Institute of Materials Science in Japan has successfully demonstrated the detection of individual photons in the infrared spectrum by utilizing a revolutionary material called magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene. This discovery represents a significant step towards extending superconducting single-photon detection to longer-wavelength photons. The results are featured in Science Advances.
