Study demonstrates new mechanism for order formation in quantum systems

Study demonstrates new mechanism for order formation in quantum systems

Schematic representation of activity-induced ferromagnetism in quantum active materials. Here, moving atoms with spin exhibit ferromagnetic order (i.e., line up in one direction), like the flock of birds described above. …
