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

Abstract: The wave functions and permitted energy levels of quantum systems, which characterize the probability distributions and particle behaviors, are able to be determined via the time-independent ...

For more than a century, thermodynamics has described how heat flows and engines run, while quantum mechanics has ruled the ...

Physicists have taken a gemstone better known for engagement rings and turned it into a laboratory for one of the strangest ideas in modern physics, a phase of matter that repeats in time instead of ...
