Pioneering robot arm poised to reach new heights in quantum

Three-pronged approach discerns qualities of quantum spin liquids

An illustration of the lattice examined by Phil Anderson in the early ’70s. Shown as green ellipses, pairs of quantum particles fluctuated among multiple combinations to produce a spin liquid…

Scientists set the stage for quantum chemistry in space on NASA’s cold atom lab

Research demonstrates new type of ferromagnetism with completely different alignment of magnetic moments

In the moiré material produced at ETH, the electron spins are disordered if there is exactly one electron per lattice site (left). As soon as there are more electrons than…

The quark model: A personal perspective

The idea that protons and neutrons were composed of even smaller particles, with non-integral electric charges, was proposed in 1963/64 by Andre Petermann, George Zweig and Murray Gell-Mann, who dubbed…

Tracking down quantum fluctuations of the vacuum to explore the limits of physics

The X-ray beam from the world’s largest X-ray laser, the European XFEL, only becomes as clearly visible as in the photo in complete darkness and with an exposure time of…

Unlocking the secrets of spin with high-harmonic probes

Study leverages chiral phonons for transformative quantum effect

Chiral phonons excited by the circularly polarized terahertz light pulses generate ultrafast magnetization in cerium fluoride. Fluorine ions (red, fuchsia) are set into motion by circularly polarized terahertz light pulses…
