A team of researchers has produced vortices within a supersolid, confirming superfluid behavior within this state of matter.

Supersolids are a new form of quantum matter that has only recently been demonstrated. The state of matter can be produced ...

Scientists have officially spotted characteristics of superfluidity (a quantum fluid with zero viscosity) inside a ...

Shapes created by vortices in water often fall apart, but an odd quantum fluid made from ultracold atoms could support vortex ...

Physicists predicted over 50 years ago that quantum mechanics allows for a state of matter that behaves like a solid and a ...

Much of modern life depends on the coding of information into means of delivering it. A common method is to encode data in laser light and send it through optic cables. The increasing demand for more ...

Scientists discovered a way to encode more data into light by creating light vortices with quasicrystals. This method could ...

Quantum computing, a technology that uses the principles of quantum mechanics, is poised to transform industries across the ...

The state of matter can be produced artificially in ultracold, dipolar quantum gases. A team has now demonstrated a missing hallmark of superfluidity, namely the existence of quantized vortices as ...
