Semiconductor demonstrates elusive quantum physics model
With a little twist and the turn of a voltage knob, Cornell researchers have shown that a single material system can toggle between two of the wildest states in condensed matter physics: The quantum anomalous Hall insulator and the two-dimensional to.....»»
The end of the quantum tunnel: Exact instanton transseries for quantum mechanics
In the quantum world, processes can be separated into two distinct classes. One class, that of the so-called "perturbative" phenomena, is relatively easy to detect, both in an experiment and in a mathematical computation. Examples are plentiful: the.....»»
