When Rohit Velankar, a senior at Fox Chapel Area High School, embarked on a simple science fair project to explore how a container’s elasticity affects the way its fluid drains, little did he know that it would evolve into a groundbreaking research endeavor. Teaming up with his father, Sachin Velankar, a professor of chemical and
In a groundbreaking development, scientists at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have successfully detected the first neutrino interactions at the Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND). This achievement marks a significant milestone in a project that has been in the making for nearly a decade. The SBND collaboration, comprising 250 physicists and engineers from various countries, has been
Non-Hermitian systems have been gaining attention in recent years for their unique properties and their significance in understanding complex real-world systems. These systems, where operators are not equal to their Hermitian conjugates, exhibit a range of phenomena that are not present in Hermitian systems. One such phenomenon is the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE), which involves
The world of quantum physics is often viewed as highly complex and chaotic, with systems consisting of many interacting small particles posing significant challenges to traditional theories. However, a recent study led by Professor Monika Aidelsburger and Professor Immanuel Bloch from the LMU Faculty of Physics suggests that even chaotic quantum many-body systems can be
Quantum computing is at the forefront of technological innovation, promising unprecedented computing power and breakthroughs in various fields. However, the realization of fault-tolerant quantum computers has proven to be a complex challenge due to the inherent fragility of quantum systems.
