Pairing of electrons in an artificial atom leads to a breakthrough

Posted by in categories: particle physics, quantum physics

The state, known as the Machida-Shibata state, involves the pairing of electrons in an artificial atom on the surface of a superconductor.

A team of physicists from Hamburg University has made a breakthrough in the field of quantum physics by observing a rare state of matter that was predicted by Japanese theorists more than half a century ago.
