Physicists at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) in Hamburg have discovered a striking new form of quantum behavior. In star-shaped Kagome crystals—named after a ...

From Schrödinger’s cat to LIGO: quantum physics turned strange ideas into useful technology
Quantum mechanics powers lasers and precision measurements. A century-spanning perspective examines those successes and the ...
For years, researchers have tried various ways to coax quantum bits—or qubits, the basic building blocks of quantum computers—to remain in their quantum state for ever-longer times, a key step in ...
Figure 1: To grasp the principal result of Niu and colleagues’ research, consider a device that raises a suspended weight in Earth’s gravitational field. Since both work and coherent ergotropy are ...
Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland have uncovered two complementary mechanisms that govern coherence in ...
Quantum coherence and decoherence are fundamental indications of how well a system of quantum objects -- atoms or other quantum particles -- maintains its relationships and how reliably the ongoing ...
Excitons are particle-like entities that form when electrons bind to electron vacancies called holes. A long-standing goal in condensed-matter physics is the unambiguous creation of a collective ...
