A new study led by Rice University’s Qimiao Si has unveiled a new class of quantum critical metal, shedding light on the intricate interactions of electrons within quantum materials. Published in Physical Review Letters on Sept. 6, the research explores the effects of Kondo coupling and chiral spin liquids within specific lattice structures.

In a paper published in Light: Science & Applications, a team led by Professor Mang Feng from the Innovation Academy for Precision Measurement Science and Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. Hui Jing from Hunan Normal University and Prof. Şahin K. Özdemir from Pennsylvania State University, demonstrates chiral quantum heating and cooling and quantum state transfer using an optically controlled ion.

A study coordinated by the University of Trento with the University of Chicago proposes a generalized approach to treat the interactions between electrons and light. In the future, it may contribute to the development of quantum technologies but also to the discovery of newstates of matter. The study has been published in Physics Review Letters.

Led by University of Melbourne theoretician and HPC expert Associate Professor Giuseppe Barca, a research team has achieved the first quantum simulation of biological systems at a scale necessary to accurately model drug performance.

ow scientists have discovered that in the quantum metal ZrSiSe, electrons show exotic behaviors because their quantum mechanical nature manifests more readily than in common metals. With these exotic behaviors, electrons can give rise to what scientists call plasmons. These are collective oscillations in a material that are strong and long lived.

Quantum Computing Inc. (QCi), an innovative quantum optics and nanophononics technology company, today announced that they have been awarded a fourth project from NASA. QCi, the only company worldwide that can utilize Entropy Quantum Computing (EQC) to denoise LiDAR spectral information, has been tapped by Analytical Mechanics Associates on behalf of NASA to provide a new approach to remove sunlight noise from LiDAR spectral mapping in lower earth orbit.
