"Breakthrough: China's Quantum Leap in Supersolid Material for Quantum Computing"

TL;DR Summary
Physicists in China have observed a material in a supersolid phase of matter for the first time, using a compound called NBCP with atoms arranged in triangular lattices. By exposing the material to a magnetic field and measuring its magnetocaloric effect, they were able to detect the spin states of the atoms and their transitions, confirming the material's supersolid state. This observation is expected to open new possibilities for studying quantum phenomena and simulating novel materials.
