Direct evidence of strong electron correlation in a 2D material found

Mar 18, 2022 (SPX)

The underlying physics driving these switchable materials is a mystery, though physicists suspect it has something to do with "electron correlations," or effect...

Physicists shed light on the darkness

Mar 15, 2022 (SPX)

"These are entangled quantum states that are completely decoupled from the outside world," explains Max Zanner, first author of the paper. "They are invisible, ...

Quantum information: Light from rare-earth molecules

Mar 13, 2022 (SPX)

As a result, computing capacity of quantum computers will increase exponentially compared to digital computers. To carry out computing operations, however, the ...

Mathematical discovery could shed light on secrets of the Universe

Mar 10, 2022 (SPX)
