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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists uncovered hidden geometry that distorts electron paths like gravity bends light, advancing quantum materials for faster data and lossless conduction. (Nanowerk News) How can data be ...

Quantum computing has entered a bit of an awkward period. There have been clear demonstrations that we can successfully run quantum algorithms, but the qubit counts ...
