SLAC celebrates 50 years of Nobel-winning discovery in particle physics
Webstory: https://www6.slac.stanford.edu/news/2024-11-20-slac-celebrates-50-years-nobel-winning-discovery-particle-physics On Nov. 11, 1974, two research teams rocked the particle physics world when they announced they had independently discovered a new subatomic particle – the J/psi. The…
Using matter waves, scientists unveil novel collective behaviors in quantum optics
Representation of an array of matter-wave emitters held in an optical lattice tube (atomic excitations in red, emitted matter waves in blue, and effective vacuum coupling in green), along with…
Physicists explain how fractional charge in pentalayer graphene could work
Hartree-Fock (HF) determined quantum metric, and trace condition, accompanied by the layer-4,5 occupation number. The total weight on the other 3 layers combined is ≈ 5%. The mean and variance…
