Quantum breakthrough links light and magnetism in atomically thin materials

science

Researchers have achieved new progress in controlling magnetism with light in atomically thin quantum materials, according to ScienceDaily. In these materials, light-generated excitons can directly interact with magnetic properties, allowing researchers to manipulate magnetic states through light alone. The breakthrough could pave the way for advanced optical memory systems, quantum devices, and ultra-efficient photonic technologies.
