Quantum breakthrough sheds light on perplexing high-temperature superconductors
Superfast levitating trains, long-range lossless power transmission, faster MRI machines—all these fantastical technological advances could be in our grasp if we could just make a material that transmits electricity without resistance—or “superconducts”—at around room temperature.Quantum Physics NewsRead More
Topological phonons: Where vibrations find their twist
An international team of researchers has discovered that the quantum particles responsible for the vibrations of materials—which influence their stability and various other properties—can be classified through topology.Quantum Physics NewsRead More
Scientists demonstrate the potential of electron spin to transmit quantum information
The spin of the electron is nature’s perfect quantum bit, capable of extending the range of information storage beyond “one” or “zero.” Exploiting the electron’s spin degree of freedom (possible spin states) is a central goal of quantum information science.Quantum Physics NewsRead More
