NTHU Researchers Identify Quantum Critical Point in Cuprate Superconductors
The Quantum Insider · By Mohib Ur Rehman ·
The Brief
- Researchers from National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) and international partner institutions report identifying evidence of a quantum critical point in high-temperature cuprate superconductors.
- The team used resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) in the study.
- The Quantum Insider reported the findings on 2026-11-11.
Why it matters
A quantum critical point is a central concept for understanding how superconductivity emerges in cuprates, a material class whose mechanism is still not fully explained.
