    Spontaneous Emission in Photonic Time Crystals: New Decay

    Breakthrough: Spontaneous Emission Reimagined in Time-Varying Media A KAIST-led international collaboration has achieved a landmark result in quantum optics by demonstrating that spontaneous emission behaves in a fundamentally new way inside Photonic Time Crystals (PTCs). Challenging prior predictions, the team shows that the spontaneous emission decay rate is enhanced—not extinguished—by rapid, periodic changes of a…

    First Elucidation Of Spontaneous Emission And Excitation In Photonic Time Crystals

    Breakthrough: Spontaneous Emission Gets a Time-Tuned Twist A KAIST-led collaboration has unveiled a surprising twist in how light interacts with matter when the environment itself changes in time. In a study published online in Physical Review Letters on September 23, 2025, researchers from KAIST’s Department of Physics—led by Professor Bumki Min—and partners from the Department…
