An international team of physicists has uncovered a subtle but important twist in how “memory” works in quantum systems.

Researchers at Rice University report that cerium magnesium hexalluminate, a compound with the formula CeMgAl11O19, is not the quantum spin liquid it was long believed to be. In a peer-reviewed study ...

Quantum physics tells us that particles behave like waves that therefore their position is space is unknown. Yet in many situations, it still works remarkably well to think of particles in a classical ...

An international group of researchers have investigated the role of memory in quantum systems and dynamics. Their findings ...

Collective behavior is an unusual phenomenon in condensed-matter physics. When quantum spins interact together as a system, they produce unique effects not seen in individual particles. Understanding ...

A new study examined the mechanism governing the nonlinear Hall effect, paving the way for battery-free devices.

Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In ...

One of the most striking features of quantum physics is that certain properties cannot be measured at the same time. Every measurement may inevitably affect the object's physical state being ...

An international team of researchers at University of Manchester have created and characterised a molecule with properties never previously observed, using quantum computing to confirm its unusual ...

Sometimes a visually compelling metaphor is all you need to get an otherwise complicated idea across. In the summer of 2001, a Tulane physics professor named John P.

Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...

Quantum effects in Kondo lattices can determine whether a system behaves magnetically or non-magnetically, opening new avenues for designing future quantum materials and technologies. (Nanowerk News) ...
