Quantum Computers Map Scattering Phase Shifts in 1D Systems via Integrated Correlations
Breakthrough ties quantum computing to scattering theory in one dimension Understanding how particles scatter and interact at the quantum level is a foundational pursuit in physics. A team of researchers, including Peng Guo, Paul LeVan, and Frank X. Lee, has proposed a novel approach that leverages quantum computers to extract scattering phase shifts in one-dimensional…

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…
