  • Light can cool and control the motion of nanoscale resonators to the point that they oscillate with only a single quantum of vibrational energy. Hosseini et al. now demonstrate a technique for optically cooling four mechanical modes of a nanowire that enables highly sensitive force measurements.

  • Efficient memory systems are vital for the development of quantum communications technologies. Hosseini and colleagues describe an optical memory based on warm rubidium vapour that achieves 87% pulse recall efficiency, illustrating the potential of warm atomic vapour systems for quantum memory.

  • Light propagating through a cloud of cold atoms can be slowed down by exciting a certain type of spin wave in the atomic ensemble. This stationary light could find applications in quantum technologies.

  • Optical quantum memories—storage devices for the data encoded in light pulses—will be vital for buffering the flow of quantum information. Researchers now demonstrate such a device that can operate at room temperature. The quantum state is stored in a vapour of rubidium atoms and then recalled with a fidelity in excess of 98%.

  • Precise and arbitrary control of an optical field that preserves optical coherence is an important requisite for many proposed photonic technologies. Here, a coherent optical memory based on photon echoes induced through controlled reversible inhomogeneous broadening is presented. The scheme allows storage of multiple pulses of light which can be arbitrarily recalled, time-stretched or split.

  • Dynamics in cold atomic ensembles involve complex many-body interactions that are hard to treat analytically. Here, the authors use machine learning to optimise the cooling and trapping of neutral atoms, showing an improvement in the resulting resonant optical depth compared to more traditional solutions.

  • The potential of 2D materials for space applications has been surfaced recently, however a comprehensive assessment of their suitability is currently missing. Here, the authors investigate the radiation effects in Earth’s atmosphere on various devices based on 2D transition metal dichalcogenides and hexagonal boron nitride.

  • It has long been known that light can be slowed and stopped in an atomic medium using electromagnetically induced transparency. Researchers have now shown how an optical resonator can help a single photon induce its own transparency, which could have exciting applications in quantum information science.

  • Cavity optomechanics have allowed insight into the quantum groundstate of macroscopic systems, by efficiently decoupling them from environmental vibrations and noise. Here, a simplified vertical optical levitation system is presented in which three physical processes lead to complex dynamical behaviour.
