A new study has uncovered the universal dynamics far from equilibrium in randomly interacting spin models, thereby complementing the well-established universality in low-energy equilibrium physics.

Researchers have made a breakthrough in applying the first law of thermodynamics to complex systems, rewriting the way we ...

Efforts to probe the physics of systems removed from equilibrium date back to Maxwell himself. But recent progress has renewed interest in the endeavour — a trend highlighted by this Insight, ...

An exotic phase of matter has been realized on a quantum processor. Matter can exist in different forms, or phases, such as ...

Phases of matter are the basic states that matter can take - like water that can occur in a liquid or ice phase. Traditionally, these phases are defined under equilibrium conditions, where the system ...

Physicists have achieved a breakthrough by using a 58-qubit quantum computer to create and observe a long-theorized but never ...

Quantum dynamics—the study of how particles behave and interact in a quantum system—has long fascinated physicists due to its puzzling and sometimes bizarre behaviors. Unlike classical systems, where ...

Researchers have created an unprecedented quantum phase on a 58-qubit processor, confirming the theory of Floquet topological states. This work paves the way for quantum computers to serve as ...

A new study addresses a foundational problem in the theory of driven quantum matter by extending the Středa formula to ...
