Essentially, the quantum metric creates a “geometric” drag on the electrons. When the magnetic field is applied, it breaks the time-reversal symmetry, revealing this hidden geometry by causing the ...

A new breakthrough may help scientists solve some of the mysteries of the quantum realm. For the first time, physicists have been able to measure the geometrical 'shape' a lone electron adopts as it ...

A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions. The movement of electrons in a lattice ...

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” once thought purely theoretical, may revolutionize electronics, ...

Quantum chemistry uses quantum mechanics for the first-principle exploration of chemical systems. In principle, all chemical phenomena can be studied by solving the Schrödinger equation, the ...

A physics professor at the University of Nevada, Reno and his colleagues have identified quantum geometry as an opportunity to increase the superconducting temperature of two-dimensional ...

Describing natural phenomena with geometric language is one of the most important achievements of modern physics. In the context of general relativity, Einstein treats spacetime as a dynamic geometric ...

A collaboration between Stuart Parkin's group at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle (Saale) and Claudia Felser's group at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of ...

Study demonstrates a chiral fermionic valve that separates handedness via quantum geometry, enabling transport and interference without magnetic fields. (Nanowerk News) A collaboration between Stuart ...
