Frustrated quantum spin chains are one-dimensional systems in which competing interactions between adjacent and next-nearest-neighbour spins inhibit the establishment of conventional magnetic order.

New evidence suggests a rare triplet superconductor may help quantum computers stay in sync by preserving electron spin ...

Magnetic-superconducting hybrid systems are key to unlocking topological superconductivity, a state that could host Majorana modes with potential applications in fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Researchers have now exposed the semimetal zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe₅) to high magnetic fields and very low temperatures ...

In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are ...

This recently discovered capability could help enable applications in quantum computing, sensing and more. While earlier studies (ACS Nano, "The Bulk van der Waals Layered Magnet CrSBr is a Quasi-1D ...
