Quantum matter breakthrough: Tuning density waves
Illustration of a density wave. Credit: Harald Ritsch, Innsbruck University/EPFL. Scientists at EPFL have found a new way to create a crystalline structure called a “density wave” in an atomic…
Using nuclear spins neighboring a lanthanide atom to create Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger quantum states
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Researchers have experimentally demonstrated a new quantum information storage protocol that can be used to create Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) quantum states. There is a great deal of…

First SuperCDMS detector towers journey from SLAC to SNOLAB
Newswise — After years of pioneering work, researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have completed the detector towers that will soon sit at the heart of…
Wiring up quantum circuits with light
Artistic rendering of the experimental device with the beam optical photons (red) entering and leaving the electro-optic crystal and resonating within its circular portion as well as the generated microwave…
Uncovering universal physics in the dynamics of a quantum system
New experiments with ultra-cold atomic gases uncover universal physics in the dynamics of quantum systems. Penn State graduate student Yuan Le, the first author of the paper describing the experiments,…
‘Charge density wave’ linked to atomic distortions in would-be superconductor
This image shows the positions of atoms (blue spheres) that make up the crystal lattice of a copper-oxide superconductor, superimposed on a map of electronic charge distribution (yellow is high…
Quantum simulator explores curved spacetime
Newswise — The theory of relativity is good for understanding big things like black holes colliding and creating gravitational waves in space. Quantum theory is good for understanding small things…
