More Brookhaven National Laboratory In the new study, the researchers have shown that the "forbidden" phase transition can be achieved only at a very narrow range of temperatures. And thus ...

"Prior to this paper, we had written a paper that observed a similar phase transition in entanglement, in which we had observed phases where measurements of a quantum system preserved or destroyed ...

The Kibble-Zurek (KZ) mechanism, confirmed experimentally only for equilibrium phase transitions, is also applicable for non-equilibrium phase transitions, as is now shown in a landmark study.

But no past experiment had achieved this phase transition. One reason for the difficulty is that systems like quantum computers and simulators typically only work well when they are very cold.

But instead of marking a transition between different structures of matter, the shift between web and no web indicates a change in the structure of information. “This is a phase transition in ...

A critical phenomena analysis then concluded that a phase transition, well studied in the physics of magnetic materials, occurred at a critical gene length of 1,500 nucleotides. This marked ...
