New experiments conducted at Princeton University provide evidence for a decades-old theory that, in the quantum regime, an electron behaves as if it is made of two particles, one particle that ...

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether ...

Kenneth Merz, Ph.D., of Cleveland Clinic's Center for Computational Life Sciences and a team are exploring how quantum ...

Scientists have discovered a revolutionary new method for creating quantum states by twisting materials at the M-point, ...

This antiferromagnetic material closely resembles the ideal Kitaev honeycomb model for a spin liquid, and undergoes a transition to a spin liquid at a temperature of 0.5 K in the presence of a strong ...

In a frustrated magnet, the arrangement of electron spins prevents them from forming an ordered alignment, and so they collapse into a fluctuating, liquid-like state. In a true quantum spin liquid ...

Quantum spin liquid, in case you are unaware, is a theoretical special state of matter where tiny magnetic particles don’t settle in a fixed pattern. It is believed this can even occur at the ...
