Three-site Kitaev chain enhances stability of Majorana zero modes

An international research team led by QuTech has realized a three-site Kitaev chain using semiconducting quantum dots coupled by superconducting segments in a hybrid InSb/Al nanowire. When comparing two-and three-site chains ...

Moir茅 than meets the eye: Phasons enable interlayer excitons to move at low temperatures for quantum stability

A moir茅 pattern appears when you stack and rotate two copies of an image with regularly repeating shapes, turning simple patterns of squares or triangles into a groovy wave pattern that moves across the combined image in ...

萌妹社区icists uncover strong light-matter interactions in quantum spin liquids

萌妹社区icists have long theorized the existence of a unique state of matter known as a quantum spin liquid. In this state, magnetic particles do not settle into an orderly pattern, even at absolute zero temperature. Instead, ...

Particle that only has mass when moving in one direction observed for first time

For the first time, scientists have observed a collection of particles, also known as a quasiparticle, that's massless when moving one direction but has mass in the other direction. The quasiparticle, called a semi-Dirac ...
