The results, published in Nano Letters ("Visualization and Manipulation of Bilayer Graphene Quantum Dots with Broken Rotational Symmetry and Nontrivial Topology"), provide important fundamental ...

The uncertainty inherent to quantum mechanics has long left physicists wondering whether the observations we make on the ...

Quantum mechanics has a concept called a “wave function.” It’s incredibly important because it holds all the measurable information about a particle (or group of particles) within it. In practice, the ...

It underpins the whole theory of quantum mechanics, but does it exist? For nearly a century physicists have argued about whether the wave function is a real part of the world or just a mathematical ...

Trapping and controlling electrons in bilayer graphene quantum dots yields a promising platform for quantum information technologies. Researchers have now achieved the first direct visualization of ...
