Chasing Impossible Vortices: Supersolid Discovery and the Future of Quantum Technology

In a significant advancement for quantum technology, physicist Francesca Ferlaino’s team at the University of Innsbruck has successfully captured images of quantized vortices within a supersolid—a state of matter that exhibits properties of both solids and superfluids. This achievement could inform the development of room-temperature superconductors and provide insights into the interiors of neutron stars. Supersolids, which combine the structural rigidity of solids with the frictionless flow of superfluids, offer a unique platform for exploring fundamental quantum phenomena. Understanding these exotic phases of matter may lead to more resilient quantum devices and advance the scalability and accessibility of quantum technologies.
