Using a device known as a trapped-ion quantum simulator, the researchers were able to simulate a system comprised of 23 ytterbium ions (i.e., charged atoms) arranged into a 1D chain. This device ...

Dr. Wang explains that in 1D, quantum effects become far ... which are tools used to model complex materials and systems with unprecedented control." Dr. Wang says the findings deepen our ...

After decades of looking, researchers have seen a string of atoms go through a 1D ... their simulator makes such exotic states of matter possible, it could be used to study theoretical systems ...

“Our work has shown that the Hubbard model is inadequate to fully account for cuprate physics, even in a simple 1D system. If the model has already failed at the 1D level, we wouldn’t expect ...
