Researchers led by Rice University's Guido Pagano used a specialized quantum device to simulate a vibrating molecule and ...

When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and ...

After decades of looking, researchers have seen a string of atoms go through a 1D phase change so elusive that it could only happen inside a quantum simulator. “One motivation [for our experiment] is ...

When exposed to periodic driving, which is the time-dependent manipulation of a system's parameters, quantum systems can exhibit interesting new phases of matter that are not present in ...

Electron transfer, critical to processes such as cellular respiration and energy harvesting in plants, has long posed challenges to scientists due to the complex quantum interactions involved. Current ...

How does cold milk disperse when it is dripped into hot coffee? Even the fastest supercomputers are unable to perform the necessary calculations with high precision because the underlying quantum ...

Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the point of breaking. Two teams of physicists have now used ...

Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) ...

As strange and unique as the laws of the quantum realm appear in our everyday experience, every now and then experiments catch sight of phenomena that seem both alien and yet eerily familiar. For the ...

In a Columbia University laboratory in New York, physicist Sebastian Will and his team have reached one of ultracold physics’ ...

Amid some scepticism, many say the machines can now achieve results beyond the capability of traditional computers ...
