The Hubbard model, used to understand electron behavior in numerous quantum materials, now shows us its stripes, and superconductivity too, in simulations for cuprate superconductors.

Two projects will look for ways to link individual quantum devices into networks for quantum computing and ultrasensitive detectors.

The studies could lead to a new understanding of how high-temperature superconductors operate.

Revealed for the first time by a new X-ray laser technique, their surprisingly unruly response has profound implications for designing and controlling materials.
