Team studies the emergence of fluctuating hydrodynamics in chaotic quantum systems
Fluorescence images of a quantum many-body system consisting of cesium atoms in an optical lattice in an initial ordered configuration (left) and a time-evolved random configuration. By studying the growth…
Physicists use quantum correlations of photon pairs to hide images from standard cameras
Fig. 1. Experimental results. a, Experimental setup. b, Intensity image on the camera and c, correlation image. The intensity image reveals no information about the object, which can nevertheless be…
Mysteries of the bizarre ‘pseudogap’ in quantum physics finally untangled
An illustration of colored balls on a chessboard-like grid similar to the Hubbard model. Credit: Lucy Reading-Ikkanda/Simons Foundation By cleverly applying a computational technique, scientists have made a breakthrough in…
Topological quantum computers a step closer with new method to ‘split’ electrons
Double-slit experiment. Credit: University College Dublin The topological quantum computer still exists only in theory but, if possible, would be the most stable and powerful computing machine in the world.…
Were Bohr and von Neumann really in conflict over quantum measurements?
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Analysis suggests that the two pioneers of quantum mechanics, Niels Bohr and John von Neumann, may have had more similar views than previously thought regarding the…
