Research demonstrates a new mechanism of order formation in quantum systems


by Phys.org

Phys.org— Researchers Kazuaki Takasan and Kyogo Kawaguchi of the University of Tokyo with Kyosuke Adachi of RIKEN, Japan, have demonstrated that ferromagnetism, an ordered state of atoms, can be induced by increasing particle motility and that repulsive forces between atoms are sufficient to maintain it.

Phys.org—Researchers build new device that is a foundation for quantum computing. Scientists led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst have adapted a device called a microwave circulator for use in quantum computers, allowing them for the first time to precisely tune the exact degree of nonreciprocity between a qubit, the fundamental unit of quantum computing, and a microwave-resonant cavity.

Daily Mail—Britain in talks to join Europe's new air defence system: Grant Shapps reveals new 'Sky Shield' would shoot down missile and drone strikes from foes such as Russia amid calls for our own Iron Dome-style system. The Defence Secretary said the UK is in the early stages of working with its European allies about what a 'Sky Shield may look like'.

Phys.org—The end of the quantum tunnel: Exact instanton transseries for quantum mechanics. In the quantum world, processes can be separated into two distinct classes. One class, that of the so-called "perturbative" phenomena, is relatively easy to detect, both in an experiment and in a mathematical computation. Examples are plentiful: the light that atoms emit, the energy that solar cells produce, the states of qubits in a quantum computer.
