A deep look into the dipolar quantum world
Much like a ship built in a glass bottle, the quantum gas microscope features its vacuum chamber and lens in a single glass cell, with lasers creating a light crystal…
Scientists demonstrate the existence of a universal lower bound on topological entanglement entropy
When the constant-depth circuit is removed, the value of topological entanglement entropy (γ) computed from the state returns to the ideal value (γ₀). Credit: Dr. Bowen Shi. In a new…
LLNL leads initiative to advance muon-based imaging
Newswise — Today we can see inside seemingly impossible places—nuclear reactors, volcanoes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza—thanks to muon imaging. This technique uses naturally occurring subatomic particles…
From nanoplastics to airborne toxins: Pollution stories for media.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution is responsible for 6.7 million premature deaths each year. This includes both outdoor air pollution and indoor air pollution from cooking,…
Scientists amplify superconducting sensor array signals near the quantum limit
Superconducting sensors collecting X-ray or gamma-ray photons that are generated to characterize materials. Amplification using the microwave multiplexer & new quantum-based amplifier enhances the resolution of the signals w/o introducing…
Accelerating waves reveal physics mysteries
Newswise — Whenever light interacts with matter, light appears to slow down. This is not a new observation and standard wave mechanics can describe most of these daily phenomena. For…
