Simulations hint at new strongly correlated states of matter in ultracold polar molecules
A self-bound crystal of individual dipolar molecules surrounded by a superfluid ring. I have made the figure myself, based on simulation data. Credit: Ciardi et al. Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are…
Neutrinos ‘Flavor’ May Hold Clues to the Universe’s Biggest Secrets
Newswise — COLUMBUS, Ohio – In a new analysis, physicists provide the most precise picture yet of how neutrinos change ‘flavor’ as they travel through the cosmos. Neutrinos are fundamental particles…
A ‘seating chart’ for atoms helps locate their positions in materials
MIT physicists have developed discrete grid imaging technique (DIGIT), an optical super-resolution technique that maps quantum emitters to lattice sites with atomic localization precision (as represented in this artist’s interpretation).…
Electrons that can’t find the exit
How can a frog escape from a box? It needs to have enough energy—and it has to find the exit. Credit: Vienna University of Technology What happens when electrons leave…
Simplified Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model simulated on trapped-ion quantum computer
Quantinuum researchers assemble an ultra-high vacuum chamber that keeps the QPU in a near-Earth orbit-like environment, virtually free of unwanted particles. Credit: Quantinuum. The simulation of strongly interacting many-body systems…
