Hard-to-move quasiparticles glide up pyramid edges

(Nanowerk News) A new kind of “wire” for moving excitons, developed at the University of Michigan, could help enable a new class of devices, perhaps including room temperature quantum computers. What’s more, the team observed a dramatic violation of Einstein’s relation, used to describe how particles spread out in space, and leveraged it to move excitons in much smaller packages than previously possible.
