A quantum "miracle material" could support magnetic switching, a team of researchers at the University of Regensburg and ...

Researchers at the University of Regensburg and the University of Michigan have shown that chromium sulfide bromide, a ...

There is a big problem with quantum technology—it's tiny. The distinctive properties that exist at the subatomic scale usually disappear at macroscopic scales, making it difficult to harness their ...

so the magnetic domains themselves become larger and less mobile. At some point, when the magnetism becomes sufficiently strong, a quantum phase transition occurs, causing the magnetism of the ...

The origin of this anomalous metallic state is thought to be a liquid-like state in which magnetic flux lines that penetrate into the superconductor move around due to quantum fluctuations.

When one of these particles — in this case, a magnetic-flux quantum, or superconducting vortex — falls to the bottom of the deeper well, it will remain there and will repel additional ...

Even in the fuzzy, probabilistic world of quantum physics, though, there’s a limit on how small you can go. Both ...

A Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID ... called the critical current (I c), is highly sensitive to the magnetic flux threading the SQUID loop. In a DC SQUID, the external magnetic ...
