Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, producing a quantized sideways drift that ...

Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In their experiment, photons drift sideways in perfectly defined, quantized steps ...

For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but ...
