New research conducted at the University of Chicago has confirmed a decades-old theory describing the dynamics of continuous phase transitions. The findings, published in the Nov. 4 issue of Science, ...
New research has confirmed a decades-old theory describing the dynamics of continuous phase transitions. The findings provide the first clear demonstration of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism for a quantum ...
We suggest a possible origin for abrupt mixed-order transitions in physical systems and demonstrate it on three different Ising models with additional different types of interactions. We identify a ...
