Qubits), quantum-mechanical ground state (i.e. Authors: Roberto Piazza, Stefano Buzzaccaro, Eleonora Secchi and Alberto Parola. Credit: of Cambridge's Centre for Quantum Information and Foundations in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, has proposed a principle that can determine the maximum amount of quantum information that a quantum system can communicate. Researchers are applying similar principles in the development optomechanical sensors that will help unlock vibrational secrets of chemical and biological samples at the nanoscale. Periodic arrangment of atoms is favored for most substances over a glassy disordered state is an even deeper, more fundamental principle of condensed matter. €�This is a particularly exciting result because it concerns pretty much all areas of physics; not only condensed matter physics, but also astrophysics, atomic, particle and nuclear physics and cosmology,” said Murayama, the campus's MacAdams Symmetry has been a powerful concept in physics for nearly 100 years, allowing scientists to find unifying principles and build theories that describe how elementary particles and forces interact now and in the early universe. Lubensky: Principles of Condensed Matter Physics (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, U.K., 1995) Chap. These devices are of interest to condensed matter physics as the strong phonon-photon coupling enables experiments targeting quantum information storage (i.e. There are many candidates, but based purely on citations alone, one could make a credible argument that the most powerful idea in condensed matter physics is the (first) Hohenberg-Kohn theorem: the external potential V(r) of an electronic system can be determined Perhaps the fact that crystalline, i.e. If a BEC is confined in a loop, the superfluid can flow around forever – at least in principle – and the angular momentum of the BEC is quantized much like current is quantized in a superconductor loop. Schematic of the quantum information causality game, in which the amount of quantum information communicated among the parties is limited by the principle of quantum information causality. A generalized Archimedes' principle for sedimentation and ultracentrifugation.
