QPTs. “The fluctuations appear as telegraph-like noise with a range of characteristic times and a non-monotonic temperature dependence, revealing unexpected quantum granularity. The lateral dimension of these fluctuations grows towards criticality, offering a new measurable length scale.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-018-0264-z View in LinkedIn

APPLICATIONS. “Our results provide physical insight into the reorganization of phases across a QPT, with implications for any theoretical description. This paves a new route for future quantum information applications.”(QPT = quantum phase transitions). https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-018-0264-z View in LinkedIn

PROGRAMMED MATTER. “For me, it is so reasonable to assume that the photons in those experiments carry with them programs, which have been correlated in advance, telling them how to behave. This is so rational that I think that when Einstein saw that, and the others refused to see it, he was the rational man. The other people, although history has justified them, were burying their heads in the sand.” (John Bell, physicist, nominated for a Nobel the year he died). https://lnkd.in/gGu8zzTf View in LinkedIn

Even without language, there can arise an irrefutable bond between different species. View in LinkedIn

GATEKEEPER. “Quantum fluctuations of physical observables, which commonly arise from quantum nature of the system, play a crucial role because they give out information about phase transitions, and large scale structure formation as well as phenomena which are dissipative in nature.” https://lnkd.in/eMV6hEup View in LinkedIn

THE ODDS GAME. “Quantum tunneling is a well known effect in quantum mechanics. For example, a quantum particle in a local potential minimum has a nonzero probability to tunnel through a potential maximum to reach another potential minimum with lower energy.” https://lnkd.in/eUwbdDwb View in LinkedIn

MAXWELL’S DEMON. “If the particle has an electric charge, it will respond to vacuum fluctuations of the electric field, which will result in a small increase in the tunneling rate.” https://lnkd.in/eUwbdDwb View in LinkedIn

INVISIBLE FIELDS. “The particle is subjected to vacuum electric field fluctuations even if no real photons are present. These fluctuations exert a force on the particle which can either push the particle toward the barrier, enhancing the tunneling probability, or away from the barrier, suppressing tunneling.” https://lnkd.in/eUwbdDwb View in LinkedIn

FULCRUM. “We demonstrate that low temperature properties of superconducting nanowires are essentially determined by quantum fluctuations.” https://lnkd.in/eRNV9Mec View in LinkedIn

LOW TEMP SUPERCONDUCTIVITY. “Such phenomena may be interpreted in terms of tunneling of fluxons playing the role of effective quantum "particles" dual to Cooper pairs.” https://lnkd.in/eRNV9Mec View in LinkedIn
