A new analysis reveals what happens when very short or narrow electron beams encounter a particle. The research is published ...

Founded by four leading physicists from the Weizmann Institute and Technion, Q-Factor is developing neutral atom technology to break through quantum computing's scaling barriers TEL AVIV, Israel, ...

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 ...

We never measure time directly; instead, we use clocks to measure moments in time, meaning “time” is just a measurement of ...

Welcome to Stevens! As you begin your college journey (hopefully as a Duck!) I thought I would write this week’s column in a style more like “vintage” submissions from For Math’s Sake’s early days ...

Two extremely precise experiments agree with a previously shocking measurement of just how big the proton is, which may help ...

The tech giant expands into neutral atom quantum computing while projecting commercial superconducting quantum computers by 2030.

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

Mon, March 3, 2025 at 1:30 PM UTC The lead isotope known as lead-208 was considered a “double magic” atom because of its subatomic particles—until the reveal of something completely unexpected. It was ...

Cold atom physics has emerged as a cornerstone of modern quantum science, enabling precise manipulation of atomic ensembles through techniques such as laser cooling and magneto-optical trapping. At ...

Stockholm — Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for studying how electrons zip around atoms in fractions of seconds, a field that could one day lead to better electronics or ...

Many-body physics is the study of large ensembles of interacting particles and their collective behaviour. These systems are notoriously difficult to simulate, yet they underpin phenomena such as ...
