Save the Date! Join us on April 15th for 'The Statistical Physics of Flocks and Swarms' lecture by Irene Giardina at Princeton University.

This free webinar is for undergraduates everywhere who want to explore summer research opportunities beyond their home institution. The webinar is Thursday at 4 p.m.

Congratulations to the Yazdani team including co-authors Jiachen Yu (postdoc fellow) and grad students, Haotan Han and Kristina Wolinski! @LabYazdani

Princeton researchers have cleared a major hurdle toward the advent of practical quantum computing by developing a new kind of superconducting qubit that improves quantum coherence time by 15 times that of industry standards: bit.ly/4pnJ05k

A team of scientists from Princeton has measured the energies of electrons in a new class of quantum materials and has found them to follow a fractal pattern. Fractals are self-repeating patterns that occur on different length scales and can be seen in nature in a variety of settings, including snowflakes, ferns, and coastlines. A quantum version of a fractal pattern, known as “Hofstadter’s butterfly,” has long been predicted, but the new study marks the first time it has been directly observed experimentally in a real material. This research paves the way toward understanding how interactions among electrons, which were left out of the theory originally proposed in 1976, give rise to new features in these quantum fractals.
