Purdue physicists create world's smallest disco with rotating nanodiamonds, advancing quantum research.

Physicists at Purdue University have created the world's smallest disco party using a rotating nanodiamond, marking a groundbreaking moment for the study of rotating quantum systems and levitodynamics. Levitating and spinning fluorescent nanodiamonds at high speeds, the team observed the effects of fast rotation on spin qubits within their system and studied the Berry phase, a unique phenomenon occurring during rotation. This research could lead to advancements in quantum computing, communication, and the study of quantum mechanics and gravity.
