In everyday life, continuously doing work on a system is found to heat it up. Rubbing your hands together warms them. Hammering a piece of metal makes it hot. Even without knowing the equations, we ...

Physicists at UC Santa Barbara, the University of Maryland, and the University of Washington have found an answer to the longstanding physics question: How do interparticle interactions affect ...

Quantum many-body physics explores emergent properties of many interacting quantum particles, which often have no counterpart in classical systems. Of particular interest is the study of ...

Physicists have found an answer to the longstanding physics question: How do interparticle interactions affect dynamical localization? Physicists at UC Santa Barbara and the University of Maryland, ...

Despite being continually kicked and strongly interacting, the atoms no longer absorb energy. The system localizes in momentum space, the momentum distribution literally freezes, a remarkable ...

The way light moves around inside an optical microcavity provides an exciting opportunity to explore the connection between classical and quantum physics. This field of research is known as quantum ...
