Neutron detector mobilizes muons for nuclear, quantum material
Lead muon detector developer Polad Shikhaliev looks on as JungHyun Bae, a Wigner Distinguished Staff Fellow at ORNL, looks inside a muon detector he envisioned during his doctoral studies. Credit:…
Controlling electron interference in time with chirped laser pulses
Illustration of chirped laser-assisted dynamic interference. Credit: Federico Vismarra, ETH Zürich In quantum mechanics, particles such as electrons act like waves and can even interfere with themselves—a striking and counterintuitive…
Quantum scars boost electron transport and drive the development of microchips
The image depicts a quantum scar connected between conductors. It can be controlled using a so-called nanotip carrying an electric charge. Credit: Quantum Control and Dynamics research group, Tampere University…
‘Quantum squeezing’ a nanoscale particle for the first time
(Upper panel) Experimental time sequence to realize and observe quantum squeezing of a levitated nanoparticle. After cooling the center-of-mass motions, the researchers vary the laser intensity to deform the uncertainties…
Single device amplifies signals while shielding qubits from unwanted noise
Optical micrograph of the traveling-wave parametric amplifier and converter chip. The periodic square structures along the central transmission line are Josephson junctions, while the larger rectangular structures are the capacitors…
Machine learning unravels quantum atomic vibrations in materials
Credit: Rosa Romano, EAS Communications/Caltech Caltech scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)–based method that dramatically speeds up calculations of the quantum interactions that take place in materials. In new…
Monitoring Underwater Bridge Tunnels With the Help of High-Energy Muons
Newswise — WASHINGTON, Sept. 16, 2025 – Over 200 underwater bridge tunnels exist for vehicular traffic around the world, providing connectivity between cities. Once constructed, however, these tunnels are difficult…
