The United States has successfully expanded its continental shelf boundaries, adding an additional one million square kilometers beneath the ocean. This massive claim is equivalent in size to two Californias, making America significantly larger than it was yesterday. Mead Treadwell, former lieutenant governor of Alaska and chair of the U.S. Arctic Research Commission, explains that … Read more
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery by demonstrating the first experimental observation of non-Hermitian edge burst in quantum dynamics using a photonic quantum walk setup. This breakthrough has significant implications for understanding real-world systems characterized by dissipation, interactions with the environment, or gain-and-loss mechanisms. The researchers focused on a non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE), where a … Read more
