A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions. The movement of electrons in a lattice ...

Known as quantum metric, this geometry reflects the curvature of the quantum space in which electrons move ... "Its presence can be revealed by observing how electron trajectories are distorted under ...

Quantum physics often reveals phenomena that defy common sense. A new theory of quantum scarring deepens our understanding of ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Superconductivity occurs when electrical current moves without resistance, a phenomenon that gave rise to particle accelerators, magnetic resonance imagining machines and trains ...
