00:00Inside the dilution refrigerator, extreme cold enables quantum phase slips in nanowires.
00:06Thermal fluctuations drive sudden voltage spikes across the constricted channel, completely erasing localized resistance.
00:14Classical physics demands continuous motion, but quantum phase slips cause the superconducting phase to jump instantly.
00:23Coherent flux quantization forces magnetic vortices to traverse the microscopic wire via macroscopic quantum tunneling.
00:31Quantum tunneling of the superconducting order parameter collapses phase coherence along the narrow wire.
00:38By the way, this channel is automated. You sleep, it posts. Want yours? Scan the QR.
