Atomic 'GPS' elucidates movement during ultrafast material transitions

 Quantum Physics News
 26 July 2024
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have created the first-ever atomic movies showing how atoms rearrange locally within a quantum material as it transitions from an insulator to a metal. With the help of these movies, the researchers discovered a new...

'Kink state' control may provide pathway to quantum electronics

 Quantum Physics News
 26 July 2024
The key to developing quantum electronics may have a few kinks. According to a team led by researchers at Penn State, that's not a bad thing when it comes to the precise control needed to fabricate and operate such devices, including advanced sensors and lasers....

Quantum information systems offer faster, more powerful computing methods than standard computers to help solve many of the world's toughest problems. Yet fulfilling this ultimate promise will require bigger and more interconnected quantum computers than scientists have yet built. Scaling quantum...

The experimental observation of a dissipative time crystal in a Rydberg gas

 Quantum Physics News
 23 July 2024
A dissipative time crystal is a phase of matter characterized by periodic oscillations over time, while a system is dissipating energy. In contrast with conventional time crystals, which can also occur in closed systems with no energy loss, dissipative time crystals are observed in open systems with...
