Quantum computers hold the potential to revolutionize the possibilities for solving difficult computational problems that would take classical computers many years to resolve. But for those computers ...

Recent advances in the study of quantum fluids and phase transitions on graphene have opened new avenues for understanding low-dimensional quantum phenomena and harnessing their potential for future ...

The Einstein–de Haas effect, which links the spin of electrons to macroscopic rotation, has now been demonstrated in a quantum fluid by researchers at Science Tokyo. The team observed this effect in a ...

For nearly a century, some of the simplest questions in quantum theory have stubbornly resisted clean answers, turning basic ...

Physicists have finally built a microscope that can watch superconducting electrons move in real time, and the picture is far from still. By squeezing terahertz light down to microscopic scales, a ...

In a spinor-dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate of europium atoms, near-zero magnetic fields allow dipole–dipole interactions to drive spin relaxation, producing circulating flow in the quantum fluid.

A never-before-observed phenomenon in quantum physics reportedly bears a striking resemblance to a world-famous work by Vincent van Gogh. Physicists from Osaka Metropolitan University and the Korea ...

Quantum turbulence The swirling patterns in Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” can help us visualize the quantum Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI). The central spiral and surrounding stars and ...

A giant quantum vortex may allow researchers to study black holes. This vortex is an eddy in a special form of liquid helium that displays quantum effects. The result has some properties similar to ...

As anyone who's ever seen a science fiction movie knows, whipping up a black hole in a laboratory doesn't seem like such a good idea. But that didn't stop researchers in England who wanted to see if ...

Every fluid -- from Earth's atmosphere to blood pumping through the human body -- has viscosity, a quantifiable characteristic describing how the fluid will deform when it encounters some other matter ...
