Magnetic step generation
How it works Artist’s impression of how an ultrafast disruption of superconductivity in a YBCO thin film triggers an abrupt magnetic field quench, setting off dynamics in a neighbouring magnetic system. (Courtesy: Giovanni de Vecchi and Joerg M Harms/MPSD)
Precise control over the generation of intense, ultrafast changes in magnetic fields called “magne
