Quantum breakthrough when light makes materials magnetic - EurekAlert


<strong>The potential of quantum technology is huge but is today largely limited to the extremely cold environments of laboratories. Now, researchers at Stockholm University, at the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics and at the Ca&rsquo; Foscari University of Venice have succeeded in demonstrating for the very first time how laser light can induce quantum behavior at room temperature </strong><strong>&ndash;</strong><strong> </strong><strong>and make non-magnetic materials magnetic. The breakthrough is expected to pave the way for faster and more energy-efficient computers, information transfer and data storage. </strong>
