Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, producing a quantized sideways drift that ...

For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but ...

Quantum mechanical effects are known to be easily disrupted by disturbances from the surrounding environment, commonly ...

Quantum effects are fundamental in shaping the behaviour of molecular systems, from modifying reaction pathways to influencing physical properties. At the molecular scale, classical theories are often ...

An international team of physicists has uncovered a subtle but important twist in how “memory” works in quantum systems.
