Author(s): Tengzhou Zhang and Zi CaiQuantum Monte Carlo simulations of Rydberg atom arrays with kinetic constraints reveal a quantum slush state: a heterogeneous liquid and glass mixture with quasi-long-range order. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 206503] Published Fri May 17, 2024

Author(s): Jiankun Zhu, Ya-Li Mao, Hu Chen, Kui-Xing Yang, Linhu Li, Bing Yang, Zheng-Da Li, and Jingyun FanNon-Hermitian systems can exhibit unique quantum phases without any Hermitian counterparts. For example, the latest theoretical studies predict a new surprising phenomenon that bulk bands can localize and dissipate prominently at the system boundary,...

Author(s): G. Aad et al. (ATLAS Collaboration)Angular correlations between heavy quarks provide a unique probe of the quark-gluon plasma created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. Results are presented of a measurement of the azimuthal angle correlations between muons originating from semileptonic decays of heavy quarks produced in 5.02… [Phys....

Author(s): I. C. Rodrigues, G. A. Steele, and D. BothnerHarmonic oscillators belong to the most fundamental concepts in physics and are central to many current research fields such as circuit QED, cavity optomechanics, and photon pressure systems. Here, we engineer a microwave mode in a superconducting LC circuit that mimics the dynamics of a negative...

Author(s): A. Spyrou et al.Measurements related to the production of lanthanum in stars where elements are thought to form via the “i process” indicate that less of the element is produced than models predict. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 202701] Published Fri May 17, 2024
