Physicists have proposed a way to extract the internal quantum states of electron wave packets by analyzing how those packets ...

Physicists have finally done what once sounded like science fiction: they have read the X-ray “fingerprint” of a single atom, isolating the signal of one of nature’s smallest building blocks from the ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...

A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

Professor Daniel Blumenthal's lab develops chip-scale components that can bring the power and precision of quantum science outside of the tightly controlled environment of the lab. (Santa Barbara, ...

Atom interferometry has emerged as a transformative approach in both fundamental physics and practical applications, utilising the wave nature of atoms to measure minute effects of gravity, rotation ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — UC Santa Barbara researchers are working to move cold atom quantum experiments and applications from the laboratory tabletop to chip-based systems, opening new possibilities ...

Decades of weird experimental results appeared to support the existence of the sterile neutrino, a hypothetical particle that ...

Cold atom experiments trap atoms to probe quantum effects, enabling ultra-precise sensing, timekeeping, and monitoring of Earth and space phenomena. (Nanowerk News) Cold atom experiments are among the ...
