Research Reveals Particles Follow Surreal Trajectories at Quantum Level

New research demonstrates that particles at the quantum level can in fact be seen as behaving something like billiard balls rolling along a table, and not merely as the probabilistic smears that the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics suggests. But there’s a catch – the tracks the particles follow do not always behave as one would expect from “realistic” trajectories, but often in a fashion that has been termed “surrealistic”.

Experiments Prove Magnetism Does not Influence Mobility of Electrons

If topological insulators are doped with impurities that possess magnetic properties, they lose their conductivity. Yet contrary to what has been assumed thus far, it is not the magnetism that leads to this. This has been shown by recent experiments with BESSY II at HZB. The results are now published in Nature Communications. Understanding these effects is crucial for applications of topological insulators in information technology.

Scientists Generate Quantum Logic Operation Showing Incredible Resilience to External Influences

While a classical bit found in conventional electronics exists only in binary one or zero states, the more resourceful quantum bit, or ‘qubit,’ is represented by a vector, pointing to a simultaneous combination of the one and zero states. To fully implement a qubit, it is necessary to control the direction of this qubit’s vector, which is generally done using fine-tuned and noise-isolated procedures.

Researchers Successfully Simulate How Ring-Shaped Black Holes Could Violate the Theory of General Relativity

Researchers have demonstrated how the behavior of unusually-shaped black holes could disprove Einstein’s general theory of relativity, the cornerstone of modern physics. However, such an object could only be present in a universe with at least five dimensions.

Berkeley Lab Astrophysicist to Lead Multi-Institute Team to Explore Dark Energy

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and UC Berkeley will play a role in an upcoming space telescope project, formally set in motion this week by NASA, that will explore the mysteries of the expanding universe and observe alien worlds circling distant suns, among other science aims.
