Advancements in quantum computing have paved the way for groundbreaking research in the simulation of higher-order topological (HOT) lattices. Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have recently achieved remarkable accuracy in simulating these complex lattice structures using digital quantum computers. This breakthrough has significant implications for understanding advanced quantum materials and their robust

In a groundbreaking discovery published in Nature, a collaborative research team led by Prof. Junwei Liu from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and Prof Jinfeng Jia and Prof Yaoyi Li from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) have identified the world’s first multiple Majorana zero modes (MZMs) in a single vortex of

In a recent publication in the Journal of Applied Physics, a team of researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, and Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron introduced a new sample configuration that significantly enhances the reliability of equation of state measurements in high-pressure experiments. This breakthrough allows for the attainment of pressure conditions previously unattainable in

The world of materials science has been revolutionized by the discovery of topological materials, which exhibit unique properties due to the twisted or knotted nature of their wavefunction. When a topological material interacts with its surrounding space, the wavefunction must unwind, leading to the emergence of edge states. These states are characterized by the different

The study coordinated by the University of Trento in collaboration with the University of Chicago presents a revolutionary approach to the interactions between electrons and light. This research has significant implications for the development of quantum technologies and the exploration of new states of matter. By understanding the intricate relationship between quantum particles, scientists can

In a groundbreaking experiment conducted at the Brookhaven National Lab in the US, a group of physicists has successfully identified the heaviest “anti-nuclei” ever observed. These minuscule, ephemeral objects are constructed from peculiar antimatter particles and provide valuable insights into the nature of antimatter. The implications of the measurements taken regarding the production frequency and

The introduction of quantum networks into the marketplace has always been hindered by the fragility of entangled states in a fiber cable and the efficiency of signal delivery. Scientists at Qunnect Inc. in Brooklyn, New York, have made significant progress by successfully operating a quantum network under the streets of New York City. Previous attempts

A recent discovery has unveiled the presence of a 3D quantum spin liquid in a new class of materials known as Langbeinites. This breakthrough was made possible through a combination of experimental work at the ISIS neutron source and theoretical modeling on a nickel-langbeinite sample by an international team of researchers. The material’s unique crystalline

Particle physics is a fascinating and complex field of study that delves into the fundamental building blocks of the universe. Researchers are constantly looking for deviations and anomalies in the behavior of particles to uncover new and exciting discoveries. Professors Andreas Crivellin and Bruce Mellado have recently documented deviations in particle interactions that point to

The field of solution-processed semiconductor nanocrystals, also known as colloidal quantum dots (QDs), has changed the landscape of quantum effects. While physicists had long understood the concept of size-dependent quantum effects, the realization of this theory into tangible nanodimensional objects was a challenge until the discovery of QDs. These QDs exhibit size-dependent colors that visually
