Using a diamond as a quantum simulator, scientists created a rondeau time crystal, which exhibited both long-range temporal ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

How does cold milk disperse when it is dripped into hot coffee? Even the fastest supercomputers are unable to perform the ...

Physicists are now using a tightly controlled laser and a cloud of ultracold atoms to imitate the behavior of electrons in solids, effectively building a quantum version of electronics out of light ...

Physicists have found a way to study the inner workings of Josephson junctions without using electronics at all.

Japan has put a real ion-trap quantum device online, making it accessible through the cloud Japan has taken a practical step ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

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 ...

As strange and unique as the laws of the quantum realm appear in our everyday experience, every now and then experiments catch sight of phenomena that seem both alien and yet eerily familiar. For the ...

Learning how a physical system behaves usually means repeating measurements and using statistics to uncover patterns. That ...

(Nanowerk News) Physicists have built a new type of digital-analogue quantum simulator in Google’s laboratory, which can be used to study physical processes with unprecedented precision and ...

Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the point of breaking. Two teams of physicists have now used ...
