New SKID-detectors : a world below the superconducting gap

Superconductivity is a fascinating state of matter that corresponds to zero electrical resistance. It occurs in certain materials when cooled below a characteristic critical temperature Tc . From the microscopic point of view, superconductivity consists of a condensate of pairs of electrons (“Cooper pairs”) flowing without any energy dissipation. Full text.

Nanoscale nonlinear plasmonics

Integrating quantum-optics devices is one of the main challenges for the next decade especially in view of microprocessor-scale quantum computing. This requires taking experiments that are done today on an optical table and downsizing them to a few hundred nanometres, the equivalent to what was done in the past century for transistors.
