Newly Established Simons Collaboration to Classify Possible Forms of Ultra-Quantum Matter

Senthil Todadri and Xiao-Gang Wen, professors at MIT, are members of the newly formed Simons Collaboration on Ultra-Quantum Matter.

New Method to Control Single-Photon Emission in 2D Materials Could Open Up New Way to All-Optical Quantum Computers

A new study has revealed a novel technique for developing thin films to regulate the emission of single photons. The study has boosted the efforts to develop reliable light-based quantum computing, quantum key distribution for cybersecurity, and other technologies.

Quantum Gases of Ultra-Cold, Neutral Atoms Help Unlock the Pairing Mechanism of Fermi-Gas Systems

A new study released by a FLEET/Swinburne overcomes an age-old debate of what exactly occurs at the microscopic level when matter changes into a superfluid or superconducting state.

Researchers Discover and Experimentally Observe Existence of Acoustic Spin in Airborne Sound Waves

Spin, which is a basic physical quantity, describes a particular type of angular momentum. For instance, consider Earth’s motion, Earth’s spin characterizes the angular momentum related to the rotation about its axis.

Quantum Limit Surpassed in the Precision of Force and Position Measurements

Quantum physics scientists of the Schliesser Lab at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have achieved a new regime of precision with regards to force and position measurements.

Unique Platform to Study Link Between Superconductivity and Ferromagnetism in Fe-Based Superconductors

High-temperature (Tc) superconductivity essentially originates from antiferromagnetic insulators, and ferromagnetism and superconductivity are always contradictory to each other.

New Vapor Stabilizing Method Allows Electrons to be Used for Quantum Computing and High-Precision Measurements

Researchers at the University of Bath have patented a novel method for stabilizing the density of alkali metal vapor through gold nanoparticles.

Breakthrough Study Demonstrates the Geometry of a Single Electron in an Artificial Atom

For the first time, physicists at the University of Basel have demonstrated the geometry of a single electron in an artificial atom.

New Statistical Technique to Infer Progress of Star Formation Within Molecular Clouds

Inside interstellar clouds of dust and gas, or what are called molecular clouds, star formation progresses at a highly rapid rate yet it is highly “inefficient.”

Experiment Creates New Material that can Conduct Electricity Flawlessly

Scientists at the University of Chicago are part of a global research team that has discovered superconductivity—the ability to conduct electricity flawlessly—at maximum temperatures ever documented.
