When exposed to periodic driving, which is the time-dependent manipulation of a system's parameters, quantum systems can exhibit interesting new phases of matter that are not present in ...

When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and ...

Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) ...

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 ...

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

Researchers have made a meaningful advance in the simulation of molecular electron transfer -- a fundamental process underpinning countless physical, chemical and biological processes. The study ...

Rydberg atoms, characterised by their highly excited electronic states, have emerged as a pivotal resource in exploring quantum simulation. Their exaggerated electromagnetic properties enable strong, ...

Where do you see patterns in chaos? It has been proven, in the incredibly tiny quantum realm, by an international team co-led by UC Santa Cruz physicist Jairo Velasco, Jr. In a new paper published on ...

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 ...

(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 ...

An analog-digital approach to quantum simulation could lay the foundations for the next generation of supercomputers to finally outpace their classical predecessors. Reading time 3 minutes Quantum ...
