Such novel states of matter could one day lead to developments ... patiently explaining digital quantum simulation, Floquet systems and symmetry-protected topological phases.

In the race to uncover the deepest secrets of the universe, researchers are turning to powerful new tools. One of the most ...

And confirming that information is the fifth state of matter touches on a weird idea: that the universe is actually a computer simulation. As an academic exercise, scientists have suggested this ...

Similarly, elementary particles, which make up all the visible matter ... the simulation hypothesis comes from quantum mechanics. This suggest nature isn't "real": particles in determined states ...

Plasma—the electrically charged fourth state of matter—is at the heart of many important industrial processes, including ...

Simulating matter in extreme conditions is critical to ... However, one challenge is how to efficiently prepare the initial state of these simulations on the qubits of a quantum computer.

How do scientists use the states of matter to create new inventions? Scientists care about the state of matter so they can explain why things happen or how to develop new uses. Meet a material ...

An exotic, ultracold state of matter on Earth is helping scientists study the behavior of "fuzzy" dark matter. Dark matter is an invisible form of matter that makes up about 85% of the matter in ...

“We have created a new state of matter, called a topological superconductor,” Nayak ... he explained. Results of rigorous simulation and testing of their heterostructure devices are consistent with ...
