In regular quantum critical points (QCPs), a material changes from one phase to another because the order in the material ...

Researchers at the University of Hong Kong used special models to simulate the phase transition from one quantum state to ...

This process, which forms a new state of matter, may have ramifications for future quantum computing. The phase, called a superradiant phase transition (SRPT), is the result of two independent ...

Known as a superradiant phase transition (SRPT), the phenomenon occurs ... forming a new state of matter. The discovery was made in a crystal composed of erbium, iron, and oxygen that was cooled ...

Physicists with the U.S. Department of Energy have discovered a new phase of ... control the transitions between those states—are central problems in the fields of condensed matter physics ...

My research interests are thermodynamics and statistical mechanics of condensed matter systems, phase transitions and critical phenomena, Ising model and other spin models, solid-liquid phase ...

Phase transitions and critical phenomena are the ... A change in the state of matter, such as from a solid to a liquid, is a classic example. The authors reveal that a symmetric Weyl metal can ...

An international team of physicists has made a significant observation of the BKT phase transition in a 2D dipolar gas of ultracold atoms. This groundbreaking work marks a major milestone in ...

These transitions are well-understood and ... in the quantum world where the boundaries between distinct phases dissolve, and matter exists in a state of extraordinary fluidity, defying the ...

The exotic quantum phase, predicted over half a century ago, could lead to advances in quantum computing, sensors and communication technology.
