For the first time, researchers in China have accurately quantified how chaos increases in a quantum many-body system as it evolves over time. Combining experiments and theory, a team led by Yu-Chen ...

One of the particles acts as a thermometer and the whole system is simulated on the computer. Credit: TU Wien One of the particles acts as a thermometer and the whole system is simulated on the ...

Quantum nano-mechanics. Quantum jumps in atomic physics. Continuous transitions between quantum states in quantum‒classical mechanics for molecular and chemical physics involve both chaotic (dozy ...

Where do you see patterns in chaos? It has been proven, in the incredibly tiny quantum realm, by an international team co-led by UC Santa Cruz physicist Jairo Velasco, Jr. In a new paper published on ...

A quantum simulator using ultracold atoms reveals how subtle magnetic patterns shape one of the most puzzling states of matter. Physicists have uncovered a link between magnetism and a mysterious ...

Quantum chaos describes chaotic classical dynamical systems in terms of quantum theory, but simulations of these systems are limited by computational resources. However, one team seems to have found a ...

How rapidly does information spread through a quantum system? How does a quantum system forget its past? And can today’s noisy quantum computers tell us anything trustworthy about the limits of these ...

SALT LAKE CITY – A University of Utah study is shedding light on an important, unsolved physics problem: the relationship between chaos theory – which is based on 300-year-old Newtonian physics – and ...

Mean-field theory and semiclassical methods constitute vital frameworks in contemporary quantum mechanics. By replacing the intricate web of particle interactions with an average or “mean” field, mean ...

Quantum gravity represents the ambitious quest to reconcile the principles of quantum mechanics with general relativity, aiming to produce a unified theoretical framework that can describe the ...

Henry Yuen is developing a new mathematical language to describe problems whose inputs and outputs aren’t ordinary numbers.

A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions. The movement of electrons in a lattice ...
