Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not ...

Physicists call this strange state a quantum spin liquid, and for decades it has been one of the most elusive phases of ...

A long-standing physics mystery has been solved with the discovery of emergent photon-like behavior inside a strange quantum ...

Physics simulations using classical mechanics is something that’s fairly easily done on regular consumer hardware, with ...

A new technique allows complex interactions in materials to be simulated using Monte Carlo simulations thousands of times ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Superconductivity occurs when electrical current moves without resistance, a phenomenon that gave rise to particle accelerators, magnetic resonance imagining machines and trains ...

A crucial number that rules the universe goes big in a strange quantum material. The fine-structure constant is about 10 times its normal value in a type of material called quantum spin ice, ...

Researchers have developed an efficient way to characterize the effective many-body Hamiltonian of the solid-state spin system associated with a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centre in diamond. The technique ...

Spin device: in this diagram of the spin valve the nanowire runs between a source and drain (both shown in gold) and the locations of the two quantum dots on the nanowire are denoted by the dashed ...
