Quantum metric unveils defect freezing in non-Hermitian systems

The fundamental postulates of quantum mechanics rest upon the fact that the Hamiltonian, which quantifies the energy of the system, is given by a Hermitian operator. This means that the complex conjugate and transpose of the Hamiltonian should be equal to itself. Almost a century after the formulation of quantum mechanics, researchers are now trying to break free from this constraint — non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, which do not satisfy the aforementioned property, are now a new frontier of exploration in both theoretical and experimental physics. Paolo Hermignini is part of the project and is a Postdoctor in Condensed Matter and Quantum Optics at Fysikum.

Biological particles play crucial role in Arctic cloud ice formation

An international team of scientists from Sweden, Norway, Japan, and Switzerland, has presented research findings that reveal a crucial role of biological particles, including pollen, spores, and bacteria, in the formation of ice within Arctic clouds. These findings, published in Nature Communications, have far-reaching implications for climate science and our understanding of the rapidly changing Arctic climate.
