Researchers have discovered a hidden quantum geometry inside materials that subtly steers electrons, echoing how gravity ...

For a century, the Schrödinger equation has been the bedrock of quantum mechanics, successfully predicting how matter behaves as a wave. Yet, physics has lacked a fundamental explanation for why ...

Essentially, the quantum metric creates a “geometric” drag on the electrons. When the magnetic field is applied, it breaks ...

A collaboration between Stuart Parkin's group at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle (Saale) and Claudia Felser's group at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of ...

Quantum metric spaces extend the classical notion of metric spaces into the noncommutative realm by utilising operator algebras and associated seminorms to capture geometric structure in settings ...

A quantum state of matter has appeared in a material where physicists thought it would be impossible, forcing a rethink on the conditions that govern the behaviors of electrons in certain materials.

Physicists have directly mapped a hidden kind of geometry inside quantum materials that steers electrons in ways strikingly ...

How can data be processed at lightning speed, or electricity conducted without loss? To achieve this, scientists and industry alike are turning to quantum materials, governed by the laws of the ...

Scientists have long sought to understand the quantum metric (QM)—a fundamental quantity that measures how rapidly neighboring electronic states in a solid change across momentum space. Predicted to ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

A new light-based breakthrough could help quantum computers finally scale up. Stanford researchers created miniature optical cavities that efficiently collect light from individual atoms, allowing ...
