Recent Highlights


Phase transitions and the breakdown of quantum dynamics A phase transition is something you encounter every day when boiling water for tea. The dynamics of quantum particles involved in such a transition however, is not yet fully understood, and even violates the prescriptions of Schrödinger's equation.

		Spiral patterns in puddles of electrons We show that electron puddles found in a particular electronic crystal spontaneously form swirling motifs of interlocking spirals.

Thermal Radiation from a Synthetic Black Hole Horizon We show that the creation of a simulated black hole in one-dimensional models causes thermal radiation at the Hawking temperature of the simulated black hole.
