X-ray imaging tracks laser-driven changes in quantum materials

Argonne researchers have developed an X-ray imaging technique to study how silicon carbide responds to ultrafast laser pulses, according to a release published by The Quantum Insider. The measurements distinguish fast mechanical waves from slower heat dispersion within the crystal. The work may help refine creation of quantum defects, while precise placement of reliable qubits remains a research goal.
