The authors introduce a setup for energy harvesting in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners that efficiently converts circularly polarized radio-frequency electromagnetic fields. Such an approach allows doubling of performance, compared to traditional harvesting coils that convert linearly polarized field components. The setup can be used as a wireless power supply for pieces of additional equipment used within MRI scanners. Importantly, a series of experiments with two commonly used MRI scanners demonstrates that the proposed coil does not degrade the quality of MRI images.

Quantum information processing requires qubits that can retain their energy for a long time, and one also needs to be able to rapidly manipulate and measure the qubits. The authors utilize the spatial extent of a microwave resonator to meet both of these requirements. They protect a superconducting qubit from energy decay by simply shifting the position of the coupling port in a conventional device. This study demonstrates a simple technique that enables fast readout and reset of a superconducting qubit without compromising its lifetime. The technique could immediately be incorporated into the design of a superconducting quantum computer.

The translation of acoustophoresis (here the handling of bioparticles using acoustic radiation force) to clinical use requires stronger acoustic fields and higher throughput than currently available. The authors find that the acoustic energy density in a microchannel and the efficiency of such a device can be drastically enhanced by actuating from the side, instead of conventional bottom actuation. Side actuation leads to significant symmetry breaking in channel-wall vibration, which is key to achieving strong acoustic fields. The resulting improvements in particle focusing as well as throughput show clear potential for acoustophoresis technology in the clinic.

aims to improve detector performance by utilizing quantum mechanics, but how much difference will that actually make? Here the authors show that the conventional limits given by quantum information theory are not achievable for a laser-ranging setup, since the receiver does not have complete information about the detected state . They present refined limits and a detection scheme to saturate these limits, which still demonstrate quantum improvement. This work strengthens the connection between quantum information theory and quantum sensing, and will promote the development of sensors that achieve the maximum improvement allowed by quantum mechanics.

Magnonic devices are of increasing interest for both classical and quantum computing architectures. However, their development has been hindered by the lack of efficient means for routing magnons in complex networks of wires. The authors address this challenge by utilizing topologically protected magnetic textures—skyrmions—as electrically programmable scattering centers to route magnons. Simulations indicate that the proposed skyrmionic magnon switch can operate with high energy efficiency, and provides a large on:off ratio (as high as 90). These results should impact the engineering of tomorrow’s computing devices based on magnon-skyrmion interactions.

New materials are needed to achieve cheap, efficient solar panels, LEDs, and other optoelectronic devices. However, key measurements to reveal the fundamental mechanisms dictating device optimization are typically long and expensive. This study shows that the same level of understanding can be achieved far more rapidly by combining measurements of photoluminescence quantum efficiency and time-resolved photoluminescence. These results plus ultraviolet-visible absorption measurements allow device efficiency to be predicted, providing a tool for the rapid screening and optimization of materials, which is of interest to spectroscopists and device fabricators in both academia and industry.

Using the framework of causal constraint and impedance matching, the authors take an unorthodox approach to surveying the literature on microwave and acoustic metamaterial absorbers on a unified basis. This perspective has the advantage of highlighting the potential of some particular approaches and ways to improve absorption toward a target absorption spectrum. The last section of the review focuses on current and developing methods to circumvent the causal constraint, with the goal of attaining absorption performance previously considered impossible.
