Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy ...

A study by researchers from the University of British Columbia’s Blusson Quantum Matter Institute (UBC Blusson QMI) has found a rare form of one-dimensional quantum magnetism in the metallic compound ...

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, theoretical physicists at MIT explained how ...

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism. Scientists had assumed that these two ...

The entry of quantum computers into society is currently hindered by their sensitivity to disturbances in the environment. Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, and Aalto ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw and the University of British Columbia have described how a so-called lone spinon—an exotic quantum excitation that is a single ...

For decades, scientists have hunted for materials that defy conventional ideas of magnetism. Most magnetic materials, like the ones found in fridge magnets, behave in predictable ways. Their atomic ...

Quantum spin liquids are fascinating states of matter where magnetic spins stay disordered, defying the usual rules of magnetism. Scientists have made an exciting discovery about one such material.

Quantum mechanics has revealed that magnetic fields exert profound influences on microscopic systems, modulating quantum states and facilitating emergent phenomena with global technological potential.

Libor Šmejkal has a fondness for the artwork of M. C. Escher, whose work was often inspired by mathematics. One of Šmejkal’s favourite pieces is Horseman, a striking picture that features an elaborate ...

“We proved the existence of a new class of quantum materials that are both metallic and one-dimensional magnets, with strong coupling between the magnetic moments and their metallic host,” said UBC ...
