Quantum simulator realizes strongly interacting Mott-Meissner phases in bosonic flux ladders

When exposed to periodic driving, which is the time-dependent manipulation of a system's parameters, quantum systems can exhibit interesting new phases of matter that are not present in time-independent (i.e., static) conditions. Among other things, periodic driving can be useful for the engineering of synthetic gauge fields, artificial constructs that mimic the behavior of electromagnetic fields and can be leveraged to study topological many-bo…

Quantum Transport: Bosons and Fermions Obey a Universal Law

Quantum Transport: Bosons and Fermions Obey a Universal Law ramani Fri, 05/23/2025 - 09:21 The world around us is made of two fundamentally different kinds of particles: fermions and bosons. Fermions are solitary by nature — if they were cars on a busy road, each one would be forced to respect the space in front and avoid others. Bosons, on the other hand, are far more sociable. They like to group together. In the world of bosonic quantum vehicl…
