Photonuclear interactions occur when light-speed particles in an accelerator barely miss each other, allowing the high-energy photons from their electromagnetic halos to interact with passing nuclei. This phenomenon enables physicists to probe the internal structure of nuclear matter and study the strong force binding it together.

World’s first quantum battery could enable ultra fast charging

Scientists in Australia have demonstrated a prototype quantum battery that could revolutionize energy storage. By harnessing quantum effects, it can absorb energy in a rapid “super absorption” event, enabling much faster charging than conventional batteries. Even more surprisingly, the system becomes more efficient as it scales up. The research opens the door to ultra-fast, next-generation energy technologies.

The #paperofTheDay is 99 years old: "Winkelvariablen und kanonische Transformationen in der Undulationsmechanik" by Fritz London 1927.
If classical #physics is formulated in terms of Hamilton's canonical equations, the variables (p,q) initially are position and momentum, but they can be transformed in various ways by what is called "canonical transformations". Usually, one tries to find "action-angle variables", which are such that the transformed momentum becomes a constant (and the corresponding transformed position is then a linear, or periodic, function of time, hence an "angle"). Typical simple examples of this kind are rotation symmetric problems, where the action-angle variables are spherical coordinates, and the transformed (and conserved) momentum is angular momentum. In particular, the classical action S is the generator of a canonical transformation.
The present paper is one of the very early papers of #quantumMechanics , and it deals with the question how canonical transformations can be realized in quantum mechanics. An important special case is the transformation generated by e^(i/h S). There are two conceptual challenges: Firstly, in Schrödinger's formulation, instead of a "particle position", which is a number, one has a "wave function", which is a function of the spacial coordinate. So, the canonical transformations operate on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space of functions, instead of an ordinary vector space. Secondly, the momentum q becomes the differential operator i d/dq, and the canonical transformation must transform this object. Since these concepts were very new and foreign at that time, the paper includes many clarifying comments.

Scientists just found a hidden 48-dimensional world in quantum light

A routine quantum optics technique just revealed an extraordinary secret: entangled light can carry incredibly complex topological structures. Researchers found these hidden patterns reach up to 48 dimensions, offering a vast new “alphabet” for encoding quantum information. Unlike previous assumptions, this topology can emerge from a single property of light—orbital angular momentum.
