Quantum effects are fundamental in shaping the behaviour of molecular systems, from modifying reaction pathways to influencing physical properties. At the molecular scale, classical theories are often ...

For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but it turns out light also follows the fundamental phenomenon.

At temperatures approaching absolute zero, most magnetic materials settle into tidy patterns. Their tiny magnetic moments, or spins, align in one of two ways: all pointing in the same direction in ...

Quantum mechanical effects are known to be easily disrupted by disturbances from the surrounding environment, commonly referred to as noise. To minimize these disturbances, physicists often study ...

An international team of physicists has uncovered a subtle but important twist in how “memory” works in quantum systems.

The Quantum Zeno Effect (QZE) and its extension into quantum Zeno dynamics represent a profound interplay between measurement and quantum evolution. Initially conceived as an inhibition of state decay ...

A new study has revealed how tiny imperfections and vibrations inside a promising quantum material could be used to control an unusual quantum effect, opening new possibilities for smaller, faster and ...

A wafer-thin flake of bismuth telluride can act a little like a one-way street for electricity, even when the push comes from ...

Over the past decades, energy engineers have developed increasingly advanced battery technologies that can store more energy, ...

A study by scientists at Hunan University introduces a new hydrogen isotope separation method that leverages proton quantum ...

In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are ...
