Researchers advance new class of quantum critical metal that could advance electronic devices

Researchers create a one-dimensional gas out of light

The polymers applied to the reflective surface trap the photon gas in a parabola of light. The narrower this parabola is, the more one-dimensionally the gas behaves. Credit: IAP/Uni Bonn…

Entangled photon pairs enable hidden image encoding

Major leap for nuclear clock paves way for ultraprecise timekeeping

A powerful laser shines into a jet of gas, creating a bright plasma and generating ultraviolet light. The light leaves a visible white line as it interacts with leftover gas…

Cold-atom simulator demonstrates quantum entanglement between electronic and motional states

Atoms in the optical lattice, trapped at a distance of 0.5 micron, are excited to the Rydberg state by the ultrafast excitation technique. Interaction between close Rydberg atoms results in…
