Quantum mechanics is a successful theory that describes the behavior of photons, electrons, and other atomic- and molecular-scale objects. However, it is far from being well understood. In this paper, a new theory - knot physics for…
Supersolids are states of matter that spontaneously break two continuous symmetries: translational invariance due to the appearance of a crystal structure and phase invariance due to phase locking of single-particle wave functions,…
