What Makes One State More Quantum Than Another – Kings, Queens, Wehrls?
Quantifying Quantumness: A Mathematical Project ‘of Immense Beauty’ Large objects, such as baseballs, vehicles, and planets, behave in accordance with the classical laws of mechanics formulated by Sir Isaac Newton. Small ones, such as atoms and subatomic particles, are governed by quantum mechanics, where an object can behave as both a wave and a particle. […]
Tokyo University of Science Study: Spintronics AdvancesーControlling Magnetization Direction of Magnetite at Room Temperature
Spintronics AdvancesーControlling Magnetization Direction of Magnetite at Room Temperature Scientists develop an energy-efficient strategy to reversibly change “spin orientation” or magnetization direction in magnetite at room temperature Spintronics－based on the principles of electron charge and magnetic spin－goes beyond the limits of conventional electronics. However, spintronic devices are yet to see advances, because controlling the magnetization […]
