Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have uncovered a new way to manipulate unusual magnetic states by exploiting “frustration” ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Quantum computers promise to solve problems far beyond the reach of classical machines, from ...

Spin–orbit coupling (SOC) in semiconductor heterostructures, particularly in quantum wells and two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs), has emerged as a pivotal mechanism in spintronics and quantum ...

Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly with each other. These atoms are widely used to run quantum simulations and ...

Photonic systems offer great platforms for performing quantum walks. Adding long-range couplings between photonic lattice sites gives the direct way in algorithmically speeding up the efficiency of ...

Researchers at Chongqing University and Chongqing Normal University report a theoretical prediction of a new quantum phase of ...

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 ...

When most people hear "polymer," they think of plastics. In our group, polymerization is a way to line up identical molecules like beads on a string and let quantum mechanics take over. Put magnetic ...
