For more than a hundred years, physicists have been aware of the link between the concepts of disorder in a system, and information obtained by measurement. However, a clean experimental assessment of this link in common monitored systems, that is systems which are continuously measured over time, was missing so far.

Researchers report new experimental evidence of a collective behavior of electrons to form quasiparticles called anyons. Anyons have characteristics not seen in other subatomic particles, including exhibiting fractional charge and fractional statistics that maintain a 'memory' of their interactions with other quasiparticles by inducing quantum mechanical phase changes.

Scientists developed a method to generate circularly polarized light from the ultimate symmetrical structure: the sphere. Their approach involves breaking the inherent symmetry of the sphere by electron beam excitation, which allows for precisely controlling the phase and polarization of the emitted light.

Researchers have demonstrated the use of elastic vibrations to manipulate the spin states of optically active color centers in SiC at room temperature. They show a non-trivial dependence of the acoustically induced spin transitions on the spin quantization direction, which can lead to chiral spin-acoustic resonances.
