    Experimentation and largest-ever Quantum Simulation of a Disordered system explain Quantum Many-Particle problem

    Figure illustrates puddles of localized quasi-condensates found using a quantum Monte Carlo simulation of trapped atoms in a disordered lattice. Individual puddles, consisting of 10-20 particles each, are incoherent relative to each other. The Bose glass is composed of these puddle-like structures. Credit: Ushnish Ray, University of Illinois

    Shining lasers at superconductors can make them work at higher temperatures, suggests new findings from an international team of scientists including the University of Bath. Superconductors conduct electricity without power loss and produce strong magnetic fields, used in medical scanners, super-fast electronic circuits and in Maglev trains with superconducting magnets to allow train levitation over tracks, eliminating friction.

    Currently superconductors only work at very low temperatures, requiring liquid nitrogen or helium to maintain their temperature...
