Using a superconducting quantum computer, physicists created a large and complex version of an odd quantum material that has ...

Nature Research Intelligence Topics Topic summaries Physical Sciences Quantum Physics Degenerate Quantum Gases and Atom Optics Over the past few decades, the ability to cool atomic gases to ultralow ...

In physical systems, transport takes many forms, such as electric current through a wire, heat through metal, or even water through a pipe. Each of these flows can be described by how easily the ...

Quantum materials can behave in surprising ways when many tiny spins act together, producing effects that don’t exist in ...

The study of quantum gases and Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) continues to redefine our understanding of matter at ultracold temperatures. When cooled to nanokelvin regimes, quantum gases exhibit ...

Usually, when something gets warmed up, heat tends to spread outward before eventually dissipating. But things are a little different in the world of superfluid quantum gas. For the first time, MIT ...

Quantum technologies, systems that process, transfer or store information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could tackle some real-world problems faster and more effectively than their classical ...

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and grow chaotic. Instead, the atoms abruptly stopped absorbing energy and locked ...
