For example, this could mean investigating whether the predicted universal relation is valid qualitatively or quantitatively for the same type and different type
of quantum phase transitions occurring in other models than that considered here.
Classification of
topological quantum phases has brought about a fundamental notion of SPT phases, which are exotic states under the protection of symmetries, and greatly expand our understanding of the fundamental nature of quantum matter.
Think chemical reactions, fluid interactions,
even quantum phase changes in solids and a host of other problems that have daunted researchers in the past.
The technique could lead to a greater understanding of theoretical predictions
in quantum phase transitions because the experimental parameters used in the Rice experiments are highly adjustable, according to Kono.
Realizing these so - called «topographical defects» within a well - controlled system opens up new possibilities when it comes to
investigating quantum phase transitions and looking in detail into the non-equilibrium dynamics of complex systems.
Our technique enables space - and time - resolved characterization of the number statistics across the superfluid — Mott
insulator quantum phase transition.
Tiny magnetic atoms of chromium display superfluidity — and the possibility of exotic quantum phases
In conducting the experiment, the team had cooled the sodium and cesium to extremely low temperatures where
new quantum phases of gas, liquid, and solid emerged in other similar trials.
Symmetry plays a fundamental role in understanding complex quantum matter, particularly in classifying
topological quantum phases, which have attracted great interests in the recent decade.
The system already allows researchers to obtain unique insights into transformations between different types of
quantum phases, called quantum phase transitions.
We mapped out the superfluid regime as a function of interaction strength and population imbalance and characterized
the quantum phase transition to the normal state, known as the Pauli limit of superfluidity.
Hence,
the quantum phase space is noncommutative.
Imaging of atoms that were optically trapped in lattice sites reveals local dynamics of
a quantum phase transition.
In the MIT - Harvard approach, the researchers generated a chain of 51 atoms and programmed them to undergo
a quantum phase transition, in which every other atom in the chain was excited.
«So the atoms make
a quantum phase transition to something similar to an antiferromagnet.»
Research led by North Carolina State University sheds new light on the ways in which protons and neutrons can bind and even undergo
a quantum phase transition.
Diagram showing
a quantum phase transition from a gas of alpha particles to a nuclear liquid.
«We found
a quantum phase transition we didn't expect to see,» Lee says.
Which of the two possible kinds of motion prevails in the end depends on the time delay between the two pulses and on
the quantum phase of the superposition.
