New spin quantum battery can be charged without an external field
The left panel shows a sketch of the charging process: the delta parameter varies over time from δ_0 to δ_0+δ_1 and then returns to δ_0, altering the strength of interactions…
Promising strategy leverages atomic displacements to control quantum properties of a vanadate perovskite
Left parts of a,b: Sketch showing the epitaxy of YVO3 on different facets of a YAlO3 substrate. The latter are shown as orange cubes, with purple faces indicating the orthorhombic…
Researchers uncover link between quantum information theory and particle and condensed matter physics
by Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe, The University of Tokyo A summary of this study showing that any operation of non-invertible symmetries is a quantum…
