A material thought to be a quantum spin liquid actually exhibits a newly identified magnetic state caused by competing ...
Spintronics—a technology that harnesses the electron's magnetic quantum states to carry information—could pave the way for a new generation of ultra-energy-efficient electronics. Yet a major challenge ...
Physicists at Boston University have achieved what amounts to a long-sought benchmark in quantum measurement: detecting the ...
Quantum mechanical effects are known to be easily disrupted by disturbances from the surrounding environment, commonly ...
An international team of researchers has forced light to replicate the quantum Hall effect, a Nobel Prize–winning phenomenon that, until now, belonged almost exclusively to electrons moving through ...
A century ago, the strange behavior of atoms and elementary particles led physicists to formulate a new theory of nature. That theory, quantum mechanics, found immediate success, proving its worth ...
