Implementing stable lasers often requires complex packaging of multiple devices, such as stand-alone external cavities and isolators. Now, stabilizing and isolating lasers can be realized in a single silicon chip thanks to the Kerr nonlinear effect in a resonator.

In the era of digital information, realizing efficient and durable data storage solutions is paramount. Innovations in storage capacity, data throughput, device lifespan and energy consumption are pressing necessities for the continuous progression of practical digital data storage technologies. Here we present a diamond storage medium that exploits fluorescent vacancy centres as robust storage units and provides a high storage density of 14.8 Tbit cm−3, a short write time of 200 fs and an estimated ultralong maintenance-free lifespan on the scale of millions of years. High-speed readout through plane and volume imaging is demonstrated with a high fidelity exceeding 99%, showing that the approach addresses the practical demands of digital data storage and provides a promising solution for future storage requirements.

A fundamental requirement for quantum technologies is the ability to coherently control the interaction between electrons and photons. However, in many scenarios involving the interaction between light and matter, the exchange of linear or angular momentum between electrons and photons is not feasible, a condition known as the dipole approximation limit. An example of a case beyond this limit that has remained experimentally elusive is when the interplay between chiral electrons and vortex light is considered, where the orbital angular momentum of light can be transferred to electrons. Here we present a mechanism for such an orbital angular momentum transfer from optical vortex beams to electronic quantum Hall states. Specifically, we identify a robust contribution to the radial photocurrent, in an annular graphene sample within the quantum Hall regime, that depends on the vorticity of light. This phenomenon can be interpreted as an optical pumping scheme, where the angular momentum of photons is transferred to electrons, generating a radial current, and the current direction is determined by the vorticity of the light. Our findings offer fundamental insights into the optical probing and manipulation of quantum coherence, with wide-ranging implications for advancing quantum coherent optoelectronics.

量子技术的一个基本要求是能够连贯地控制电子和光子之间的相互作用。然而，在许多涉及光与物质相互作用的情况下，电子和光子之间的线性或角动量交换是不可行的，这种情况被称为偶极近似极限。手性电子和涡旋光之间的相互作用就是超越这一极限的一个例子，在这种情况下，光的轨道角动量可以转移到电子上。在这里，我们提出了一种从光学涡旋光束到电子量子霍尔态的轨道角动量转移机制。具体来说，我们发现在量子霍尔机制下的环形石墨烯样品中，径向光电流的强大贡献取决于光的涡度。这种现象可以解释为一种光泵浦方案，即光子的角动量传递给电子，产生径向电流，电流方向由光的涡度决定。我们的发现为量子相干性的光学探测和操纵提供了基本见解，对推动量子相干光电子学的发展具有广泛影响。

Ångstrom and attosecond are the fundamental spatiotemporal scales for electron dynamics in various materials. Although attosecond pulses with wavelengths comparable to the atomic scales are expected to be a key tool in advancing attosecond science, producing high-power hard X-ray attosecond pulses at ångstrom wavelengths remains a formidable challenge. Here, we report the generation of terawatt-scale attosecond hard X-ray pulses using a free-electron laser in a special operation mode. We achieved 9 keV single-spike X-ray pulses with a mean pulse energy of around 180 μJ, exceeding previous reports by more than an order of magnitude, and an estimated average pulse duration of 200 as at full-width at half-maximum. Exploiting the unique capability of the European XFEL, which can deliver ten pulse trains per second with each containing hundreds of pulses at megahertz repetition rates, this study demonstrates the generation of attosecond X-ray pulses at a 2.25 MHz repetition rate. These intense high-repetition-rate attosecond X-ray pulses present transformative prospects for structural and electronic damage-free X-ray measurements and attosecond time-resolved X-ray methodologies, heralding a new era in ultrafast X-ray science. Using the European XFEL free-electron laser, researchers demonstrate terawatt-scale, attosecond hard X-ray pulses. Ten pulse trains per second, each containing hundreds of pulses at megahertz repetition rates, are achieved. Such short and intense pulses at high repetition rate enable unprecedented damage-free X-ray measurements with attosecond temporal resolution.

埃秒和阿秒是各种材料中电子动力学的基本时空尺度。尽管波长与原子尺度相当的阿秒脉冲有望成为推动阿秒科学发展的关键工具，但在埃秒波长上产生大功率硬 X 射线阿秒脉冲仍然是一项艰巨的挑战。在此，我们报告了使用自由电子激光器在特殊运行模式下产生太瓦级阿秒硬 X 射线脉冲的情况。我们获得了 9 keV 的单尖峰 X 射线脉冲，其平均脉冲能量约为 180 μJ，比之前的报道高出一个数量级以上，估计平均脉冲持续时间为 200 秒（全宽半最大值）。欧洲 XFEL 每秒可产生十个脉冲串，每个脉冲串包含数百个百万赫兹重复率的脉冲，本研究利用这一独特能力，展示了以 2.25 MHz 重复率产生的阿秒 X 射线脉冲。这些强烈的高重复率阿秒 X 射线脉冲为结构和电子无损伤 X 射线测量以及阿秒时间分辨 X 射线方法带来了变革性的前景，预示着超快 X 射线科学进入了一个新时代。
