At temperatures approaching absolute zero, most magnetic materials settle into tidy patterns. Their tiny magnetic moments, or spins, align in one of two ways: all pointing in the same direction in ...

Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum ...

Researchers at Rice University report that cerium magnesium hexalluminate, a compound with the formula CeMgAl11O19, is not the quantum spin liquid it was long believed to be. In a peer-reviewed study ...

The collaboration of TU Wien with research groups in China has resulted in a crucial building block for a new kind of quantum computer: The realization of a novel type of quantum logic gate makes it ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Particle line explosion A quantum state of matter has appeared in a material where physicists thought it would be impossible, ...

A team in China has demonstrated the simultaneous teleportation of multiple sideband qumodes in a continuous-variable system, overcoming a longstanding technical barrier.

A new room-temperature quantum device developed at Stanford uses twisted light and advanced materials to link photons and ...

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers ...

Over the past decades, energy engineers have developed increasingly advanced battery technologies that can store more energy, charge faster and maintain their performance for longer. In recent years, ...

The parity-identification problem fits naturally into this landscape. Parity is a global property, insensitive to most local details. In this respect, it resembles many other quantities studied in ...
