Physicists in China have observed five phases in localization physics within a single quantum system. Using an advanced ...

Sound waves, light waves and other types of waves, generally spread freely through space and over time. In 1958, physicist ...

Signatures of many-body localization have been observed in a one-dimensional chain of trapped ions, heralding new studies of the interplay between localization and long-range interactions. Ion traps ...

Energy diagram illustrating the dependence of eigenstate energies on quasiperiodic potential strength. Red dashed lines show the existence of two mobility edges in the system. In quantum systems, ...

Researchers in the UK say they have observed behaviour that is very close to an optical version of “Anderson localization” in a mat of gallium-phosphide nanowires – a material that is a strong ...

The existence of extra dimensions, beyond those of space and time that we perceive, is an attractive hypothesis in theoretical physics, not least in trying to fathom the apparent weakness of gravity ...
