Three different papers by three different groups on the same theme back-to-back in Nature? That is unusual. Yes, which is why they caught my eye. The papers all look rather interesting: they are about ...

Two physicists have offered a way to mathematically describe a particular physics phenomenon called a phase transition in a system out of equilibrium. Such phenomena are central in physics, and ...

Quantum Cluster Equilibrium (QCE) theory offers a rigorous framework for describing liquid states by considering the equilibrium distribution of molecular clusters. This approach, rooted in quantum ...

Approaching quantum advantage: researchers have simulated a phase transition on a 20-qubit quantum processor. (Courtesy: iStock/agsandrew) A 20-qubit quantum processor has been used to simulate the ...

Imaginary numbers are a solution to a very real problem, according to a new study published in Scientific Reports. Two physicists at Argonne National Laboratory offered a way to mathematically ...
