A new breakthrough may help scientists solve some of the mysteries of the quantum realm. For the first time, physicists have been able to measure the geometrical 'shape' a lone electron adopts as it ...

A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions. The movement of electrons in a lattice ...

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” once thought purely theoretical, may revolutionize electronics, ...

A collaboration between Stuart Parkin's group at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle (Saale) and Claudia Felser's group at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of ...

A physics professor at the University of Nevada, Reno and his colleagues have identified quantum geometry as an opportunity to increase the superconducting temperature of two-dimensional ...

Describing natural phenomena with geometric language is one of the most important achievements of modern physics. In the context of general relativity, Einstein treats spacetime as a dynamic geometric ...

Quantum chemistry uses quantum mechanics for the first-principle exploration of chemical systems. In principle, all chemical phenomena can be studied by solving the Schrödinger equation, the ...

Study demonstrates a chiral fermionic valve that separates handedness via quantum geometry, enabling transport and interference without magnetic fields. (Nanowerk News) A collaboration between Stuart ...

Physicists recently mapped the hidden shape that underlies the quantum behaviors of a crystal, using a new method that’s expected to become ubiquitous. Famously, at the quantum scale, particles can be ...
