These quantum numbers and rules simply determine the number of electron orbitals and the allowed occupancy of each orbital. Imagine a New Universe – let’s call it Joetopia – where there are different ...

Electron orbitals show where and how electrons move around atomic nuclei and molecules. In modern chemistry and physics, they have proven to be a useful model for quantum mechanical description ...

Within atoms, electrons occupy orbitals—regions of space defined by quantum numbers—such as s, p, d, and f orbitals, each with specific shapes and capacities.

Aug 07, 2025 Consider the chemistry of your quantum materials, say researchers Atomic orbitals, not just crystal lattices, can yield frustrated materials with quantum results. (Nanowerk News) ...

How does this work? It all has to do with electrons and quantum mechanics. As you may remember from chemistry classes, electrons in atoms and molecules occupy orbitals i.e., discrete energy levels. An ...

Rice University physicists have shown that immutable topological states, which are highly sought for quantum computing, can be entangled with other manipulable quantum states in some materials.

Their representation, which incorporates additional information about (natural bond) orbitals and their interactions, performs better than standard molecular graphs.

A single molecule can trigger and tune the Kondo effect, challenging long-held physics assumptions and offering new paths for molecular electronics and quantum devices.

Quantum discovery: Materials can host D-wave effects with F-wave behaviors Date: August 3, 2023 Source: Rice University Summary: In a potential boon for quantum computing, physicists have shown ...

Chemistry and physics are combining forces at Columbia, and it's leaving everyone frustrated—in a good way. New work, published in Nature Physics, describes a new two-dimensional material ...
