A new study reveals that highly disordered indium oxide superconductors undergo a first-order quantum phase transition — a sudden shift from a superconducting to an insulating state. This finding is ...

Quantum phase transitions represent fundamental changes between distinct quantum states of matter, driven not by thermal fluctuations but by quantum fluctuations at zero temperature. These transitions ...

The interplay between quantum phase transitions and measurement-induced dynamics has emerged as a vibrant research frontier, uniting concepts from many-body quantum physics, quantum information theory ...

Researchers have achieved a remarkable result: capturing and studying phase changes in quantum hardware, which hold hold promise for next-generation technologies like quantum computing and ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In a groundbreaking discovery, a team of researchers at the Rice University have reported the first direct observation of a ...

At the core of this research is the concept of quantum phase transitions. Just as water changes between solid, liquid and gas states, electrons in quantum materials can shift between different phases ...

A team of Princeton University physicists led by (from left) Professor Sanfeng Wu, Professor Nai Phuan Ong, and Dicke Fellow Tiancheng Song, are authors of a new study challenging the conventional ...
