A new abnormal condition of matter has been proven Scientists have discovered for the first time an exotic condition of matter, the existence of which was predicted almost 50 years ago. In 1973, physicist Philip Anderson hypothesized a condition of matter called quantum spin fluids that does not obey these rules. When the material cools, it does not form a solid, and, importantly, their electrons do not go into a highly ordered state. Instead, they will constantly switch, entangling themselves with each other in a complex quantum condition. Only almost half a century later, a group of scientists from Harvard first created and observed (https://bit.ly/3lHBRPt) a quantum spin fluid in practice. To do this, the researchers used a programmable quantum simulator they developed several years ago, which uses lasers to hold 219 atoms in a grid. The properties of these atoms can be carefully modified, including the spins of their electrons. The resulting quantum spin fluid exhibits several useful quantum phenomena, such as entanglement, where atoms can influence each other over vast distances and even "teleport" information; and quantum superposition, when atoms can exist in several states at the same time. Both are useful for building quantum computers that need to be more robust against external interference.
