Converged Quantum Simulations of Reactive Solutes in Superfluid Helium: The Bochum Perspective

Superfluid helium has not only fascinated scientists for centuries but is also the ideal matrix for the investigation of chemical systems under ultra-cold conditions in helium nanodroplet isolation experiments. Together with related experimental techniques such as helium tagging photodissociation spectroscopy, … Continue reading

Theoretical Breakthrough Shows Quantum Fluids Rotate by Corkscrew Mechanism

If a drop of creamer falls from a spoon into a swirling cup of coffee, the whirlpool drags the drop into rotation. But what would happen if the coffee had no friction — no way to pull the drop into … Continue reading

CERN Physicists Create Atoms of Pionic Helium

Physicists from the ASACUSA (Atomic Spectroscopy And Collisions Using Slow Antiprotons) Collaboration at CERN have successfully synthesized and studied theoretically predicted but never before verified atoms of pionic helium. Their results mark the first time such spectroscopic measurements have been … Continue reading

Viewpoint: Strumming a Strongly Interacting Fermi Gas

Sound waves reveal the unique properties of the unitary Fermi gas, a model system for describing certain superconductors and forms of nuclear matter. The way a material transmits sound waves can reveal a lot about its properties. For instance, the … Continue reading
