Atomic nuclei exhibit multiple energy scales simultaneously—ranging from hundreds down to fractions of a megaelectronvolt. A new study demonstrates that these drastically different scales can be ...

Researchers in Germany have found a way to accurately study atomic reflections in quantum sensors by deploying special light ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney have proven that ...

The approach, called the Beryllium Electron capture in Superconducting Tunnel junctions experiment (BeEST) works because the ...

Richard Feynmann noted more than once that complementarity is the central mystery that lies at the heart of quantum theory ... really know exactly where a sub-atomic particle is located in ...

Devised in 1935 by the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger, this thought experiment was designed to shine a spotlight on the difficulty with interpreting quantum theory. Quantum theory is very ...

To explore this phenomenon further, the researchers developed a mathematical model for a "demonic engine," a system powered by Maxwell's demon. Their approach is rooted in the theory of quantum ...

But if you want the ultimate in accuracy, you’ll want a quantum atomic interferometer ... data from other sensors into the navigation model. It all depends on where you are; here on earth ...
