University of Vienna physicists discover magnons with 100x longer lifespans, enabling compact quantum devices
23d ago· 4 min readenNews
Summary
Physicists at the University of Vienna have discovered that magnons—tiny waves of magnetization moving through solid magnetic materials—can survive with lifespans up to 100 times longer than previously thought. This breakthrough could enable ultra-compact quantum devices, potentially shrinking quantum computers to the size of a penny by using magnons instead of photons for information processing at nanoscale wavelengths.
