Landauer's principle is a thermodynamics concept also relevant in information theory, which states that erasing one bit of ...

Study finds direct link between correlated errors in multiple qubits and the activity of subatomic particles and gamma rays.

We have discovered legions of strange particles that seem to only have a ghostly existence inside materials. Even so, they are the basis of much modern technology - so are they actually real?

The answer, it turns out, is yes. In a breakthrough experiment, scientists have observed signs of anyons in a one-dimensional ...

In the new work, researchers did not find axions, but they were able to create a quasiparticle – an interaction that behaves like a particle – and this quasiparticle behaved like an axion.

Quasiparticle-mediated dynamics in AFM and FM honeycomb lattices of constricted nanoscopic elements. Credit: Physical Review Research (2024). DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevResearch.6.043144 Researchers ...

A collection of particles known as a quasiparticle has been detected behaving as if it has mass when it moves in one direction, but becomes massless when moving at right angle. Improbable as this ...

A bizarre type of magnetic quasiparticle that looks like a tiny, swirling bubble could one day be used as a computing bit in future memory devices after scientists sped it up enough to transmit data.

Dec 20, 2023: Room temperature quasiparticle discovery advances superconductivity research (Nanowerk News) Searching for superconductors – materials with zero resistivity – with the critical ...

Apparently, you can mix certain light with certain sound under certain conditions to create get a quasiparticle that is part-photon, part-phonon, and part-semiconductor. Even wilder, that ...

Oct 25, 2022: Researchers create first quasiparticle Bose-Einstein condensate (Nanowerk News) Scientists have created a Bose-Einstein condensate out of excitons — quasiparticles that combine electrons ...
