The quantum phenomenon called “pseudo-gap” has been resolved.

Scientists have just unraveled the Enigma behind an intriguing phenomenon called “pseudo-gap”, a mysterious compartment observed in superconducting materials and believe this discovery could be a crucial step in the search for superconductivity at room temperature, something that could completely change the way we use energy.

Imagine a world with energy transmitted without losses, ultra-fast magnetic levitation trains and even faster and more efficient MRI machines, these are just a few examples that would become a reality, physicist Antoine Georges from the Polytechnic Institute of Paris highlights how challenging it was to study these materials.

Simulating the sharing of these materials is a gigantic task, even the most powerful computer you can imagine would not be able to do it accurately. To address this problem, scientists used the Hubbard model, which is like a quantum chess board in which electrons They would be the pawns jumping from one square to another.

The secret to unraveling the “pseudo-gap” was the use of an algorithm called “diagrammatic Monte Carlo” that allowed the researchers to analyze all the interactions between electrons at once, this algorithm was able to simulate an infinite number of particles something that was not possible before, but what exactly is the “pseudo-gap”, in Materials such as cuprates, copper oxides known to become superconductors at extremely low temperatures, electrons begin to behave in a peculiar way, they form pairs but they do not complete the transition to the superconducting state.

This creates a partial gap in the energy levels of the electrons, a kind of intermediate state, this “pseudo-gap”, has always intrigued scientists who never managed to fully understand why it happens until now, thanks to an innovative algorithm and Using a special mathematical model, the researchers finally managed to decipher the mysteries behind the pseudo-believe that this discovery could bring us closer to the holy grail of condensed matter physics: superconductivity at room temperature.

El descubrimiento mostró que cuando estos materiales alcanzan temperaturas muy cercanas al cero absoluto, los electrones se organizan en filas de espines separadas por filas de cuadrados vacíos, creando lo que ellos llamaron “rayas”, esta organización electrónica ya había sido sugerida en otros estudios, pero ahora ha sido confirmada por primera vez.

Estos descubrimientos son un gran avance, no solo podrían ayudarnos a desarrollar superconductores que funcionen a temperatura ambiente, sino que también podrían abrir el camino a nuevas aplicaciones en simulación cuántica de gases un campo que une la óptica cuántica y la física de la materia condensada, con estas nuevas herramientas y el conocimiento adquirido estamos cada vez más cerca de transformar estos fenómenos cuánticos en tecnologías que podrían revolucionar el futuro.
