Strongly Correlated Material

Physicists have discovered a material in which atoms are arranged in a way that so frustrates the movement of electrons that they engage in a collective dance where their electronic and magnetic natures appear to both compete and cooperate in unexpected ways.

Rice University physicists have shown that immutable topological states, which are highly sought for quantum computing, can be entangled with other manipulable quantum states in some materials.

In an unprecedented feat, researchers from Japan have developed an organic, air-stable, highly conducting neutral molecular crystal with unique electronic properties.

The relationship between the pseudogap and underlying ground-state phases has not yet been rigorously established. We investigated the doped two-dimensional Hubbard model at finite temperature using controlled diagrammatic Monte Carlo calculations, ...

The Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA) pioneers studies to build and co-design the next generation of programmable quantum devices. An interdisciplinary team of scientists from QSA institutions, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), and the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), in collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory, conducted a series of experiments with a new type of…

Superconductors with high transition temperature (high-Tc SCs) are long-sought targets in the condensed matter physics and materials communities because of significant scientific and application values. Since the discovery of superconductivity in mercury more than one hundred years ago, only a handful of systems show Tc higher than 30 K.

Pablo Jarillo-Herrero, the Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Physics at MIT, delivered the 2022 Mildred S. Dresselhaus lecture on magic-angle graphene and the rise of moiré quantum matter.

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have detected the existence of a charge density wave of electrons that acquires mass as it interacts with the background lattice ions of the material over long distances.

Electrical control of superconductivity is critical for nanoscale superconducting circuits including cryogenic memory elements, superconducting field-effect transistors (FETs), and gate-tunable qubits. Superconducting FETs operate through continuous tuning of carrier density, but there has not yet been a bistable superconducting FET, which could serve as a new type of cryogenic memory element. Recently, unusual…

MIT faculty members Anna Frebel, Liang Fu, Nuh Gedik, Or Hen, Nuno Loureiro, and Jesse Thaler were selected as American Physical Society fellows for 2022. This award recognizes their contributions to the physics community through their innovative research, leadership, and teaching.

Superconductors are materials that conduct electrical current with practically no electrical resistance at all. This ability makes them extremely interesting and attractive for a plethora of applications such as loss-less power cables, electric motors and generators, as well as powerful electromagnets that can be used for MRI imaging and for magnetic levitating trains. Now, researchers have detailed the…
