Quantum simulators: When nature reveals its natural laws

 Quantum Physics News
 07 January 2025
Quantum physics is a very diverse field: it describes particle collisions shortly after the Big Bang as well as electrons in solid materials or atoms far out in space. But not all quantum objects are equally easy to study. For some—such as the early universe—direct experiments are not possible at...

Quantum phase transition in indium oxide films defies superconductor norms

 Quantum Physics News
 06 January 2025
A team of physicists at Université Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, in France, working with a colleague from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, in Germany, has observed an odd quantum phase transition in indium oxide films. In their study published in the journal Nature Physics, the group used microwave...

Quantum research sheds new light on how cells communicate

 Quantum Physics News
 23 December 2024
Have you ever thought that light might hold a key to life's mysteries? One hundred years ago, Alexander Gurwitsch dared to propose that living cells emit faint ultraviolet light, invisible to the naked eye, to communicate with and stimulate one another....
