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

Physicists with the U.S. Department of Energy have discovered a new phase of matter—and, with apologies to George R. R. Martin, it's something of "a song of ice and fire." The new phase comes in the ...

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

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

Researchers were shocked to discover that what was thought to be a quantum state is actually an entirely new phase of matter.

Quantum phase transitions (QPTs) represent fundamental shifts in the ground state properties of a system driven by quantum fluctuations rather than thermal effects. The quantum Rabi model, which ...

Physicists have created the first two-dimensional version of the Bose glass, a novel phase of matter that challenges statistical mechanics. Physicists from the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge have ...
