Quantum defects are tiny imperfections in solid crystal lattices that can trap individual electrons and their "spin" (i.e., ...

Scientists are closer to creating a quantum spin liquid, a state where electron spins stay dynamic even at near absolute zero ...

What makes something quantum? This question has kept a small but dedicated fraction of the world’s population – most of them quantum physicists – up at night for decades. At very small scales, we know ...

The future of computing lies in the surprising world of quantum physics, where the rules are much different from the ones ...

Researchers have achieved a major breakthrough by generating quantum spin currents in graphene—without relying on bulky magnetic fields. By pairing graphene with a magnetic material, they unlocked a ...

In the rapidly evolving field of quantum computing, silicon spin qubits are emerging as a leading candidate for building scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computers. A new review titled ...

An international team of scientists led by Rice's Pengcheng Dai has confirmed the existence of emergent photons and fractionalized spin excitations in a rare quantum spin liquid. An international team ...

Scientists have created an artificial intelligence tool called SCIGEN that can potentially speed up the hunt for novel quantum materials. Such unusual substances, displaying odd electronic and ...
