Back in 2019, Google made waves by claiming it had achieved what has been called “quantum supremacy”—the ability of a quantum computer to perform operations that would take a wildly impractical amount ...

A team of Rice University researchers reported the first direct observation of a surprising quantum phenomenon predicted over half a century ago, opening pathways for revolutionary applications in ...

Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly ...

The study of nonequilibrium phase transitions encompasses the investigation of abrupt changes in a system’s collective behaviour when driven far from thermal equilibrium. Unlike classical equilibrium ...

Lattice structures underpin much of modern materials science, providing a fundamental framework to understand the arrangement of atoms, electrons, or quasi-particles in a variety of physical systems.

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 ...
