Physicists have directly observed the electronic building blocks responsible for flat bands in quantum materials, confirming ...

In the photonic synthetic dimension, the coupling of internal degrees of freedom of photons, such as frequency, spatial mode, and orbital angular momentum, generates extra dimensions in addition to ...

Researchers have devised a straightforward method to probe the band geometry using ultracold atoms in an optical lattice. MPQ/LMU scientists devise new interferometer to probe the geometry of band ...

Working with a quantum material known as a kagome magnet, a team of Boston College physicists and colleagues have directly measured how individual electronic quantum states in the novel material ...

Despite a deep understanding of the properties of individual atoms -- the 'ingredients' that make up a crystal -- scientists found that, when they are combined they often display new, unanticipated ...
