Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly ...

Researchers at Chongqing University and Chongqing Normal University report a theoretical prediction of a new quantum phase of ...

Quantum phase transitions describe abrupt changes in the ground state of a quantum system at absolute zero when a control parameter is varied. They are distinguished from classical phase 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 ...

Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum ...

HOUSTON – (April 11, 2025) – A team of Rice University researchers reported the first direct observation of a surprising quantum phenomenon predicted over half a century ago, opening pathways for ...

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 ...

In a study published in Nature, a research team has, for the first time, observed the antiferromagnetic phase transition within a large-scale quantum simulator of the fermionic Hubbard model (FHM).

Figure 1. (A) Lattice model for realising the deconfined quantum phase transition. (B) The phase diagram for the square lattice SU(N) model. Dots represent the quantum phase transition points. Red ...

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 ...

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 ...
