"Unveiling Unprecedented Quantum Behavior in Matter: A Groundbreaking Discovery"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by SciTechDaily
Researchers from EPFL and the University of Innsbruck have made a breakthrough in quantum physics by creating a new type of matter called a "density wave" in a cold atomic gas. By using an optical cavity to allow atoms to interact at long distances through the exchange of photons, the researchers were able to observe the self-organization of particles into a regular pattern. This discovery could advance our understanding of quantum matter and have implications for quantum-based technologies such as high-temperature superconductivity and quantum computing.
