When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and ...

Researchers report a field-tuned quantum phase transition in a disordered iron-based alloy family, TiFexCu2x−1Sb. Thermodynamic and transport measurements reveal a quantum critical point near 0.13 ...

A team of physicists has created a cloud of ultracold atoms that stubbornly resists the most basic rule of everyday experience: when you pump energy into something, it heats up. Instead, this quantum ...

Physicists are rapidly expanding the traditional menu of matter beyond solids, liquids, gases and plasmas, uncovering exotic phases that behave in ways no classroom diagram ever captured. In the ...

Scientists have developed a new approach to applying thermodynamics to microscopic quantum systems. (Nanowerk News) In 1798, the officer and physicist Benjamin Thompson (a.k.a. Count Rumford) observed ...

Dr. Paul Terry is the CEO of Photonic. He is a seasoned entrepreneur, engineer and angel investor specializing in disruptive technologies. While quantum physics may sound like futuristic science ...
