Higher measurement accuracy opens new window to the quantum world
Several innovations in the new sample rod including sample holder enable temperature measurements with the highest precision. Credit: D. Kojda/HZB A team at HZB has developed a new measurement method…
Physicists show how to detect higher-order topological insulators
One-dimensional surface hinge states characteristic of HOTIs. Researchers have shown how to detect HOTIs without observing such hinge states. Credit: The Grainger College of Engineering at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign…
Forget about being clean, embrace mess
Within a dense system some terbium ions form pair states. Because of their unique properties, these pairs are blind to the single terbium ions nearby that would cause them to…
First direct imaging of tiny noble gas clusters at room temperature
Xenon nanocluster between two graphene layers, with sizes between two and ten atoms. Credit: Manuel Längle For the first time, a research team has succeeded in stabilizing and directly imaging…
Generating stable qubits at room temperature
Incorporating a chromophore in a metal-organic framework suppressed the molecular motion sufficiently to maintain the quantum coherence of the quintet state for more than 100 nanoseconds. Credit: Nobuhiro Yanai A…
Research offers insights into the metal-to-insulator transition without breaking symmetry
Credit: Yale University Metal-to-insulator transition—a process that turns materials from a conductor to an insulator—has been a crucial process behind microelectronic switches, nonvolatile memory, and neuromorphic computing materials. In many…
In novel quantum computer design, qubits use magnets to selectively communicate
Researchers have demonstrated that qubits (represented by the spheres and arrows) can “talk” to each other through a magnet (represented by the rectangular solid) rather than through air. This technology…
