Light Reveals the Hidden Quantum Motion Inside an Exotic Crystal

Optical measurements can reveal the hidden collective motion and quantum dynamics of electrons inside a Wigner crystal. In a Wigner crystal, electrons behave in an unusual way. Rather than moving independently, strongly interacting electrons confined to a two-dimensional plane can arrange themselves into a repeating lattice similar to the atoms in an ordinary crystal.
