Study nearly nixes negative gluon spin
Polarized proton containing spinning quarks and gluons (represented by right-handed and left-handed spirals). The negative Δg solutions (blue) are disfavored relative to the positive Δg solutions (red) after the addition…
Physicists find deformed nuclei when searching for ‘dark forces’
PTB’s ion traps (top right) and the PENTATRAP Penning trap mass spectrometer at MPIK in Heidelberg (bottom left) were used to obtain a new insight into the differences between isotopes…
Quantum computers successfully model particle scattering
When quantum mechanical particles scatter, it shifts the position of their wave. The new algorithm accurately measures these shifts, opening the way to quantum simulations of scattering processes. Credit: Sofia…
Unraveling their quantum entanglement and dynamics
Adjacent 𝜋 -stacked molecular columns (represented by their carbon-carbon bonds) in the lattice of orthorhombic rubrene, in 𝑏 -axis (left) and 𝑐 -axis (right) projections, with the 𝑎 , 𝑏…
International collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics
No quantum exorcism for Maxwell’s demon (but it doesn’t need one). Credit: Reiko Matsushita Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan and the Slovak Academy of Sciences have unveiled new insights…
Researchers observe a phase transition in a 1D chain of atoms using a quantum simulator
Gold electrodes create electro-magnetic fields that trap dozens of ions in a chain geometry just above the surface of the electrodes. Laser beams (not shown) then induce interactions between the…
Researchers develop first-of-its-kind quantum gate
High-fidelity Bell states synthesized within a single photon, where polarization serves as the control qubit and frequency as the target qubit. Credit: ORNL, U.S. Dept. of Energy A recent study…
