New experiments using one-dimensional gases of ultra-cold atoms reveal a universality in how quantum systems composed of many particles change over time following a large influx of energy that throws ...

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.

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 ...

Three different papers by three different groups on the same theme back-to-back in Nature? That is unusual. Yes, which is why they caught my eye. The papers all look rather interesting: they are about ...

Crystals all the way down: An artistic rendering of a time crystal. (Courtesy: Google Quantum AI) Crystalline solids such as diamond have a hallmark property: their structure is periodic in space. For ...

Two Australian studies published this week offer the first proof of a 70-year-old theory of turbulence. Turbulence, with its seemingly random and chaotic motion of the fluid, is a notoriously ...

Time-dependent driving has become a powerful tool for creating novel non-equilibrium phases such as discrete time crystals and Floquet topological ...

On the other hand, the US middle class, which is the primary target of the kill line, is in a state of unstable equilibrium.
