Perovskite Superfluoresces at High Temperatures

ORaCEL researchers Kenan Gondugdu and Franky So demonstrates superfluoresce from a commonly studied perovskite at temperatures that are practical to achieve and at timescales long enough to make it potentially useful in quantum computing applications. This finding also indicates that superfluorescence may be a common characteristic for this entire class of materials.

Superfluorescence is an example of quantum phase transition – when individual atoms within a material all move through the same phases in tandem, becoming a synchronized unit. This work appears in Nature Photonics.
