Russian scientists have experimentally proved the existence of a new type of quasiparticle—previously unknown excitations of coupled pairs of photons in qubit chains. This discovery could be a step ...

In large systems of interacting particles in quantum mechanics, an intriguing phenomenon often emerges: groups of particles begin to behave like single particles. Physicists refer to such groups of ...

Researchers have discovered a new quasiparticle named 'polaronic trion' which can enable significant tunability in the optoelectronic properties of prominent 2D material, molybdenum disulphide. The ...

Analogue interaction Illustration of how an impurity atom may gradually evolve into a quasiparticle by interacting with a surrounding medium. This mechanism is similar to how an electron can distort a ...

Physicists have created the first Bose-Einstein condensate — the mysterious ”‘fifth state” of matter — made from quasiparticles, entities that do not count as elementary particles but that can still ...

The quasiparticle concept allows physicists to describe complex, many-body interactions in terms of the behaviour of a single particle-like entity. Usually these particles turn up in condensed-matter ...

There’s a new clique among quantum particles in a semiconductor. Electrons and positively charged holes in the material’s atomic lattice band together to create a tight-knit posse dubbed a collexon, ...

Quasiparticles die young, lasting far, far less than a second. Why? A new Monash University study finds a culprit beyond the usual suspect (decay into lower energy states). Identification of the new ...
