Light-induced Switching in a Dirac Semimetal (IMAGE)
Caption
Scientists who study topological materials face a challenge -- how to establish and maintain control of these unique quantum behaviors in a way that makes applications like quantum computing possible. In this experiment, Ames Laboratory Scientist Jigang Wang and his colleagues demonstrated that control by using light to steer quantum states in a Dirac semimetal.
