Beyond Crystals: Quasicrystalline Phases Emerge in Bose-Bose Mixtures
![A binary Bose-Einstein condensate, subjected to spin-dependent periodic potential and increasing intercomponent interactions [latex]g_{12}[/latex], transitions from partially miscible quasicrystalline density clusters exhibiting eightfold rotational symmetry-observed at moderate [latex]g_{12}[/latex]-to complete phase separation as interactions strengthen, effectively dissolving the delicate order within the system.](https://arxiv.org/html/2602.13129v1/x4.png)
New research reveals that aperiodically structured quasicrystalline phases can spontaneously form in binary Bose-Einstein condensates under specific conditions, opening avenues for novel quantum simulations.
