An interdisciplinary team of Cornell and Harvard University researchers developed a machine learning tool to parse quantum matter and make crucial distinctions in the data, an approach that will help scientists unravel the most confounding phenomena in the subatomic realm.
Using a microscope he developed, physicist Séamus Davis and his team have found an exotic state of quantum matter, originally thought to just exist in cuprates, in a more conventional type of material, which could lead to more discovery.
Research in the department is organized in two laboratories, the Laboratory of Atomic and Solid State Physics (LASSP) and the Laboratory for Elementary Particle Physics (LEPP).
