Why Would Electrons Choose a Quasicrystal Over a Perfect Lattice?
A bilayer of electrons may favor a 30-degree quasicrystal when quantum zero-point motion overturns the classical energy ranking.
The Quantum Magnet That Slowed Down Between Two Ways to Relax
A 256-qubit atom array reveals an unexpected slowdown in a quantum magnet, right where familiar fast and prethermal relaxation regimes meet.
The Quantum Slush Puzzle: Why Tiny Interactions Stop Branching
A simulated Rydberg array reveals how a faint next-neighbor interaction can turn smooth quantum excitation into branching, glass-like slush.
