The new study appears in the Science journal. It is conducted by a team of physicists from the Vienna University of Technology and the Rice University from the U.S. The survey has fifteen years of thinking and analyzing to discover a quantum conundrum. The object of study was what we could call a strange metal that contained billions of entangled electrons. The peculiar metal is practically composed of ytterbium, rhodium, and silicon. So what the team had to do is to study the electronic and magnetic development of the matter.
The Study
The co-author of the study, Qimiao Si, is saying that after fifteen years of research they have now proof and date for the entanglement of the quantum. For a better understanding of the entanglement quantum, we should think of small things that aren’t macroscopic objects. For seeing the effects of this entanglement, they have studied a metallic object which contained billions of quantum mechanical things.
Moreover, for studying this process, that wasn’t easy, the groups teamed up and came with a new technique. They had the task of creating new materials for a pure state and a concentration of one part of ytterbium and two pieces of each rhodium and silicon. The experiments take place at low temperatures, such as -271 degrees Celsius.
The Results
To get to the ideal temperature, a lot of hours of hard work have been done. They have tried different temperatures for each measurement. Of course, the study wasn’t possible without precision and patience.
To sum up, the quantum entanglement experiment is critical because of the high-temperatures and superconductivity. After the data collected, they found out that the quantum can lead to high-temperatures and can be the base for quantum information and processing. However, the team of scientists succeeded in proving the existence of scaling at many temperatures and data.
