New Dimensions in Quantum Spin Liquid

A team of researchers led by Professor Yasuyuki Ishii discovered that β’-EtMe3Sb[Pd(dmit)2]2, previously thought to be a two-dimensional quantum spin liquid, actually exhibits one-dimensional spin behavior, challenging conventional understanding and potentially impacting future quantum computing applications.
