Wigner-Araki-Yanase theorem beyond conservation laws  PRA: Fundamental concepts on 2017-1-20 3:00pm GMT Author(s): Mikko Tukiainen The ability to measure every quantum observable is ensured by a fundamental result in quantum measurement theory. Nevertheless, additive conservation laws associated with physical symmetries, such as the angular momentum conservation, may lead to restrictions on the measurability of the observables.… [Phys. Rev. A 95,… Read more →

[Perspective] The fragility of distant Cooper pairs  Science: Current Issue on 2017-1-06 12:00am GMT The first superconductor was discovered in 1911, when elemental mercury was cooled below the helium liquefaction temperature. Suddenly, it ceased to show any resistance to the flow of electricity. Soon after, it became clear that some metals become superconducting upon cooling, and some do not. Half… Read more →
