Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly with each other. These atoms are widely used to run quantum simulations and ...

The neurons of our brain may not exist in a single state of matter, new research suggests. As detailed in a study, published in the journal Communications Physics, researchers have found signs that ...

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

Quantum physics has quietly been rewriting the rulebook on matter, and the latest breakthroughs suggest that the so‑called fifth state is no longer a niche laboratory curiosity. From orbiting ...

Physicists say they’ve created a new phase of matter with an “extra” time dimension, according to a recently published study in the journal Nature. The researchers didn’t set out with the goal of ...

Researchers used a 58-qubit quantum processor to realize and probe a Floquet topological phase, revealing exotic non-equilibrium matter beyond classical reach. (Nanowerk News) Unlike conventional ...

Here’s the thing: The device you’re reading this article on kind of sucks. No, it’s not because you don’t have the latest tech or software update. It’s because all computers are fairly inefficient—at ...
