Physicists working at ultra-low temperatures have stumbled onto a quantum phase that should not exist according to the usual ...

Quantum phase transitions and topological phases constitute a vibrant domain within condensed matter physics. Unlike classical transitions driven by thermal fluctuations, quantum phase transitions ...

Scientists have uncovered hidden magnetic order inside the pseudogap, bringing us closer to engineering high-temperature superconductors.

A computer model helped isolate a “pinball state” where matter switches back and forth between states. Scientists studied a ...

The study of quantum phase transitions in dissipative systems investigates the fundamental changes in the steady state of open quantum systems driven by the interplay between coherent evolution and ...

The city-based Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) has developed an indigenous technology called ...

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

A new study, co-led by Rice University’s Qimiao Si, brings these two together and discovered a new quantum state of matter.

Researchers report a field-tuned quantum phase transition in a disordered iron-based alloy family, TiFexCu2x−1Sb. Thermodynamic and transport measurements reveal a quantum critical point near 0.13 ...
