Physicists Create a Thermometer for Measuring ‘Quantumness’ and Unravel Quasicrystal Formation
Introduction: A New Tool to Measure Quantum Behavior Physicists have introduced a novel instrument: a thermometer that does not measure temperature in the usual sense, but instead quantifies how “quantum” a system behaves. This quantumness thermometer aims to translate elusive quantum features—entanglement, coherence, and interference—into a tangible scale. By doing so, researchers hope to compare…

Quantumness Thermometer: Measuring Quantum Behavior in Materials
Introducing a New Tool to Measure Quantumness Researchers have taken a bold step toward quantifying one of the most elusive traits in physics: quantumness. A newly developed “quantumness thermometer” promises to gauge how strongly quantum effects manifest in materials. This innovative device doesn’t measure temperature in the traditional sense; instead, it characterizes how coherently quantum…
