Doping a Quantum Magnet
6 Aug 2024
An MCQST team involving LMU researchers has developed a scheme to implement doped, bosonic quantum magnets in tweezer arrays of Rydberg atoms or in cold, polar molecules
Magnetism is a ubiquitous phenomenon that we all know and experience in our everyday lives, from the kitchen magnets on your fridge to the hard drive in your computer. From a microscopic perspective, the material of our kitchen magnet is composed of "spins", which can be understood as tiny microscopic magnets, that all conspire to align in the same direction, giving rise to a net magnetic moment in the material.
