Using matter waves, scientists unveil novel collective behaviors in quantum optics
Representation of an array of matter-wave emitters held in an optical lattice tube (atomic excitations in red, emitted matter waves in blue, and effective vacuum coupling in green), along with…
Physicists explain how fractional charge in pentalayer graphene could work
Hartree-Fock (HF) determined quantum metric, and trace condition, accompanied by the layer-4,5 occupation number. The total weight on the other 3 layers combined is ≈ 5%. The mean and variance…
