- 1Quantum materials can hold memory by jamming particle flow▼Jamming the flow to enable memory in quantum materials
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego report a way to make quantum materials capable of memory by jamming the flow of particles, similar to how traffic jams form. The work suggests that jammed states in quantum materials could be used to store information, offering a potential route toward new memory technologies in quantum computing and electronics.
