First Measurement of Quantum Geometry Marks a New Era in Quantum Physics Introduction to Quantum Geometry in Solids For the first time, MIT physicists and collaborators have directly measured the quantum-level geometry of electrons in solids. While the energies and velocities of electrons in crystalline materials are well-studied, their quantum geometry has  previously been accessible only through theoretical inferences or remained unobservable. O pening New Avenues in Quantum Physics Riccardo Comin, MIT's Class of 1947 Career Develo pment Associate Professor of Physics and lead researcher, describes the study,  published in the November 25 issue of Nature Physics , as o pening "new avenues for understanding and mani pulating the quantum  pro perties of materials." A New Framework for Quantum Research "We've effectively created a framework for accessing entirely new information that was  previously unattainable," says Comin, who is also affiliated with MIT...
