Massive-Object Quantum Physics (MassQ)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2019,

The world of quantum physics is usually associated with the microscopic cosmos of atoms and photons. In principle, but so far without any demonstration, even heavy objects can exhibit the distinguished properties of quantum world particles. In 1935, Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) challenged a particular prediction of quantum theory saying that two particles can exist in a so-called entangled s ...

Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,

"One of the greatest challenges these days in condensed matter physics is the fundamental understanding of the mechanisms leading to high-Tc superconductivity and ultimately, as a result of that, the discovery of a material system exhibiting a superconducting state with a transition temperature Tc above room temperature. While several different classes of high-Tc materials have been discovered in ...
