The first experimental observation of Dirac exceptional points
Dirac exceptional point. The figure illustrates that the Dirac exceptional point exhibits both a real-valued energy spectrum in its vicinity and eigenstate degeneracy. Credit: Wu et al Exceptional points (EPs)…
New physics theory to study low-energy excitations in quantum quasicrystals
By developing a microscopic quantum elasticity theory, this work describes the dynamics of deformations in a quasicrystalline lattice of bosonic particles at the lowest temperatures. Figure (a) illustrates an example…
New quantum optics theory proposes that classical interference arises from bright and dark states of light
Double slit interference. Photons arrive everywhere on the screen, but in the bright/dark regions in a bright/dark quantum state, respectively, that can/cannot excite the atom which is used to monitor…
Quantum sensors tested for next-generation particle physics experiments
The SMSPDs can precisely detect single particles at a time. The detectors were designed and fabricated at JPL and commissioned at the INQNET-Caltech labs. Credit: Cristián Peña, Fermilab To learn…

It’s a quantum zoo out there, and scientists just found a dozen new ‘species’
A “map” of the zoo: quantum states emerging in samples of twisted molybdenum ditelluride. The peaks correspond to different fractional charges. Credit: Columbia University There are a seemingly endless number…
