Graphene Study Confirms 40-Year-Old Physics Prediction
Researchers have directly observed—through moiré-patterned graphene—a rare quantum effect that produces a repeating butterfly-shaped energy spectrum, confirming the longstanding prediction of this quantum fractal energy structure called Hofstadter’s butterfly. The study is published in Nature’s May 15 Advance Online Publication. |

Turning on Frustration: 16 Atomic Ions Simulate a Quantum Antiferromagnet
This week’s issue of Science Magazine features new results from the research group of Christopher Monroe at the JQI, where they explored how to frustrate a quantum magnet comprised of sixteen atomic ions – to date the largest ensemble of qubits to perform a simulation of quantum matter. |

New Dark Matter Detector Begins Its Search
Scientists heard their first pops this week in an experiment that searches for signs of dark matter in the form of tiny bubbles. Scientists will need further analysis to discern whether dark matter caused any of the COUPP-60 experiment’s first bubbles at the SNOLAB underground science laboratory. |
