Quantum breakthrough: light controls magnetism in atomically thin materials

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in atomically thin quantum materials, where light and magnetism interact in previously impossible ways. Light-generated excitons can directly influence magnetic behaviour, allowing magnetic states to be controlled using light alone. Researchers say this could lead to advanced optical memory, quantum computing devices, and ultra-efficient photonic technologies.
