Physicists Use Light Flashes to Discover, Control New Quantum States of Matter
Jigang Wang can break his research goals into just a few words: “To discover and control quantum states of matter.”
But, it takes paragraphs, analogies, illustrations, internet searches and a willingness to decipher talk about “non-equilibrium quantum phase discovery via non-thermal ultrafast quench near quantum critical points” to get a handle on those eight words.
Even though it’s a head-scratcher, Wang’s work could be a big deal to all of us.
