When dealing with systems that involve many interacting particles, the complexity and chaos that can arise may seem overwhelming. However, is it possible to simplify the description of these systems using simple theories? This question was investigated by a research team led by Professor Monika Aidelsburger and Professor Immanuel Bloch from the LMU Faculty of

Quantum error correction has been a hot topic in the field of quantum computing for several decades. Recently, Hayato Goto from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing in Japan proposed a new approach to quantum error correction using what he refers to as “many-hypercube codes.” This innovation has the potential to revolutionize fault-tolerant quantum computing
Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice, has captivated the scientific community with its exotic properties. One of the most fascinating aspects of graphene is its ability to allow electrons to move as if they have no mass. This opens up possibilities for creating electronic devices with unprecedented functionalities, surpassing those

Equation of state measurements in extreme pressure environments have always been a challenge for scientists in the field of condensed-matter sciences. A recent paper published in the Journal of Applied Physics by an international team of scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Argonne National Laboratory, and Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron introduces a new sample configuration that
Topological materials are a unique class of materials that possess extraordinary properties due to the intricate nature of their wavefunction, which governs the behavior of electrons within them. These materials exhibit knots and twists in their wavefunctions, leading to fascinating physical phenomena. When a topological material interfaces with its surrounding space, the wavefunction must unwind,
