Quantum phase transitions represent fundamental changes between distinct quantum states of matter, driven not by thermal fluctuations but by quantum fluctuations at zero temperature. These transitions ...

Back in 2019, Google made waves by claiming it had achieved what has been called “quantum supremacy”—the ability of a quantum computer to perform operations that would take a wildly impractical amount ...

Phase transitions represent fundamental changes in the properties of matter, arising from shifts in external parameters such as temperature or pressure. These phenomena underscore the emergence of ...

Researchers have achieved a remarkable result: capturing and studying phase changes in quantum hardware, which hold hold promise for next-generation technologies like quantum computing and ...

A stable "exceptional fermionic superfluid," a new quantum phase that intrinsically hosts singularities known as exceptional ...

This image depicts the ultracold atomic quantum simulator. The red and blue balls represent the fermionic atoms with up and down spins, respectively, arranged in a staggered pattern in 3D space, ...

After decades of looking, researchers have seen a string of atoms go through a 1D phase change so elusive that it could only happen inside a quantum simulator. “One motivation [for our experiment] is ...

A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...

Quantum annealer D-Wave’s Advantage2 was one of the processors used to simulate quantum magnetic phase transitions. (Courtesy: D-Wave Systems) D-Wave Systems has used quantum annealing to do ...

The melting of materials seems like a simple phenomenon. However, when their thickness is reduced to just a few atoms, ...
