In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are ...
A study from Rice University, published in PRX Quantum Oct. 1, 2025, has found that energy transfers more quickly between molecular sites when it starts in an entangled, delocalized quantum state ...
Recent breakthroughs in quantum mechanics, highlighted by the Nobel Prize in Physics, are fundamentally changing the energy sector by enabling new forms of energy harvesting that surpass thermodynamic ...
Scientists at the Institute of Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have directly ...
Physicists are rapidly expanding the traditional menu of matter beyond solids, liquids, gases and plasmas, uncovering exotic phases that behave in ways no classroom diagram ever captured. In the ...
In some quantum materials, which are materials governed by quantum mechanical effects, interactions between charged particles (i.e., electrons) can prompt the creation of quasiparticles called anyons, ...
They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...
