An extremely stable quantum gas offers a new lens on strongly interacting systems

Molecular gases are a new form of artificial quantum matter.

The short version

• However, when these molecules collide, they are often lost extremely rapidly.
• Researchers from Radboud University and Columbia University have been able to suppress this collisional loss, paving the way for strongly interacting quantum matter.
• This new artificial quantum matter allows researchers to study quantum behavior relevant to electrons in real materials.
