Database of Quantum Materials Unlocks Potential for Technological Advancements

Researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed a groundbreaking database of understudied quantum materials, opening up new avenues for technological advancements. This initiative has the potential to revolutionize modern electronics, computing, and various other industries. The database focuses on a class...

Speed limits for quantum phenomena have been extended to macro-sized objects

A theoretical physicist at RIKEN has developed an expression for the maximum speed at which changes in macroscopic systems can occur. This will improve our understanding of quantum phenomena in non-equilibrium systems. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which states that it is impossible to simultaneously determine...

Characterizing the materials for next-generation quantum computers with nonlinear optical spectroscopy

Researchers from Universität Hamburg's Department of Physics and the Cluster of Excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter" and the University of California, Irvine have recently proposed a new method for characterising topological superconductors using multi-THz pulse experiments. This paves the way for unambiguously identifying predicted...

Light traveling in a distorting medium can appear undistorted

A team led by researchers at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, with collaborators from the University of Pretoria (South Africa), Mexico, and Scotland, has made a new discovery about how light behaves in complex media, which distorts light significantly. They...

Researchers found granular matter in a black hole

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Theoretical Physics (ITP) and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) discovered that granular matter (like sand) and some black hole models have similar nonlinear effects. The holographic duality serves as a link between the two. On...

Ancient Namibian stone could hold key to future quantum computers

A special form of light made using an ancient Namibian gemstone could be the key to new light-based quantum computers. This can solve long-held scientific mysteries. This is according to new research led by the University of St Andrews. The research was conducted in collaboration...
