Simple semiconductor films break light's front-back symmetry
Source: Originally published on Phys.org Quantum Physics on July 27, 2026.
Light typically interacts with a material the same way whether it enters through the front or the back—like polarized sunglasses that work the same from either side. Cornell researchers have demonstrated a simple route to breaking that symmetry, opening new possibilities for photonics and quantum information processing.
