The interplay between quantum phase transitions and measurement-induced dynamics has emerged as a vibrant research frontier, uniting concepts from many-body quantum physics, quantum information theory ...

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 ...

In this work, the researchers theoretically explore how quantum materials can transition continuously from one ordered state to another, for example, from a magnetic phase to a phase with crystalline ...

A team of researchers reported the first direct observation of a surprising quantum phenomenon predicted over half a century ago known as a superradiant phase transition, which occurs when two groups ...

Insulators are materials in which electrons cannot move freely. Past theoretical studies predicted the existence of an ...

A new class of moiré materials based on layered semiconductors of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) is capturing the spotlight in the search for exotic quantum phases. A review article published ...

Physicists have developed a spectral-filtering technique that strips away unwanted extra photons from quantum light sources, tackling one of the most persistent obstacles in quantum optics. The method ...

It's a well-known fact that quantum calculations are difficult, but one would think that quantum computers would facilitate the process. In most cases, this is true. Quantum bits, or qubits, use ...
