Another frontier pursued by cutting edge research here is the crafting of atom-light interactions so precise that a new generation of atomic clocks can be envisioned, whose accuracy approaches 1 ...

Interactions between atoms and light rule the behavior of our physical world, but at the same time, can be extremely complex.

Quantum mechanics 100 years on: an unfinished revolution By supposing that electrons move in elliptical orbits around an atomic nucleus, subject to certain quantization conditions, the Bohr ...

Combining expertise in experimental physics, quantum sensing and theoretical modeling, the team created a method capable of capturing single atomic signals with extraordinary precision.

Alex Breitweiser, a recent doctoral graduate in Physics from Penn’s School of Arts & Sciences and the paper’s co-first author, who is now a researcher at IBM, was working with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) ...
