A team of physicists from the University of Massachusetts Amherst has discovered a new phase of matter, the “chiral bose-liquid state.” The discovery was made using a bilayer semiconducting device, which was engineered to create a state of quantum frustration.
In a typical quantum system, particles can be arranged in a way that allows them to interact with each other in a predictable way. However, in a system with quantum frustration, the particles are arranged in a way that makes it impossible for them to interact with each other in a predictable way. This leads to the formation of new and exotic phases of matter, such as the chiral bose-liquid state.
The chiral bose-liquid state is characterized by long-range entanglement and unchangeable electron spin. Long-range entanglement is a property of quantum systems in which the particles are linked together in such a way that they share the same fate, regardless of how far apart they are. Unchangeable electron spin is a property of quantum systems in which the spin of the electrons cannot be changed, even by applying a magnetic field.
The discovery of the chiral bose-liquid state is a significant breakthrough in fundamental physics. It opens up new avenues of research into the nature of quantum matter and could lead to the development of new technologies.
