Topological order and thermal equilibrium in polariton condensates
In a two-dimensional fluid, disorder-causing mechanisms are exceptionally strong and so an absolute order cannot be achieved. Nevertheless, there is an enormous difference between systems of lesser and of greater order (for example between an ordinary fluid such as...

New Coupler Design for Quantum Annealers
Quantum annealing machines of the type manufactured by D-Wave Systems have made major advances in the last few years. A recent demonstration by Google showed that the D-Wave machine could solve a certain type of problem 100,000,000 times faster than comparable methods...
