“No system is perfectly isolated”: DGIST uncovers the mystery of “quantum collapse,” a decade-long challenge, for the first time in the world

Researchers at DGIST elucidated the microscopic mechanism of quantum order loss in 'open quantum environments', a long-standing challenge. They discovered that interactions with the environment govern ultrafast electronic decoherence in solids, resolving the mystery.

Scientists observe exotic quantum phase once thought impossible

Researchers have directly observed a superradiant phase transition (SRPT) in a magnetic crystal, overcoming a long-standing limitation in theoretical physics. The phenomenon occurs when two groups of quantum particles fluctuate collectively without external triggers, forming a new state of matter with unique properties.

Quantum optical phenomenon in the brain challenges conventional view of amyloid in Alzheimer’s

Researchers discovered that amyloid fibrils can harness quantum superradiant effects to mitigate oxidative stress, potentially transforming dementia treatments and understanding of Alzheimer's disease. This finding raises questions about the conventional view of amyloid's role in the disease.

Quantum fiber optics in the brain enhance processing, may protect against degenerative diseases

Researchers have discovered a quantum effect in biological systems that may help the brain protect itself from degenerative diseases. The effect, called superradiance, occurs when many tryptophan molecules are arranged in a symmetrical network and can absorb and re-emit damaging ultraviolet light particles.

Scientists make waves with black hole research

Researchers at the University of Nottingham have successfully simulated black hole conditions using a specially designed water bath, demonstrating the phenomenon of superradiance. This achievement provides new insights into the physics of black holes and has implications for further research on astrophysical observations.
