Physicists have built a quantum gas that behaves nothing like the substances we are used to, and that is exactly why it is ...

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily ...

Energy diagram illustrating the dependence of eigenstate energies on quasiperiodic potential strength. Red dashed lines show the existence of two mobility edges in the system. In quantum systems, ...

Researchers in the UK say they have observed behaviour that is very close to an optical version of “Anderson localization” in a mat of gallium-phosphide nanowires – a material that is a strong ...

Signatures of many-body localization have been observed in a one-dimensional chain of trapped ions, heralding new studies of the interplay between localization and long-range interactions. Figure 1: ...

The existence of extra dimensions, beyond those of space and time that we perceive, is an attractive hypothesis in theoretical physics, not least in trying to fathom the apparent weakness of gravity ...
