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.
