An international cooperation has analyzed samples of NdBi crystals, which display interesting magnetic properties. In their experiments including measurements at BESSY II, they could find evidence for so called Fermi arcs in the antiferromagnetic state […]
Researchers have developed a new high-purity single-photon source that can operate at room temperature. The source is an important step toward practical applications of quantum technology, such as highly secure communication based on quantum key […]
Atomic clocks are the best sensors mankind has ever built. Today, they can be found in national standards institutes or satellites of navigation systems. Scientists all over the world are working to further optimize the […]
Raman scattering spectroscopy is a necessary and accurate method to characterize lattice structure and probe electron-photon and electron-phonon interactions. In the quantum realm, electrons at the ground states can be excited to intermediate energy levels […]
A new atomic nucleus of lutetium, 149Lu consisting of 71 protons and 78 neutrons, has been synthesized in an experiment performed in the Accelerator Laboratory of University of Jyväskylä, Finland. Click to rate this post! […]
Researchers from the Institute of the Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and their collaborators from France, Finland, Romania and other countries have recently observed the transverse wobbling bands at the […]
One of the major challenges in particle physics is how to interpret large data sets that consist of many different observables in the context of models with different parameters. Click to rate this post! [Total: […]
Theoretical physicists routinely introduce fictitious particles and fields in their calculations, in view of completing a theory or simply to make it more elegant. A striking example concerns the magnetic monopole imagined by Dirac in 1931: a […]
Computers, smartphones, GPS: quantum physics has enabled many technological advances. It is now opening up new fields of research in cryptography (the art of coding messages) with the aim of developing ultra-secure telecommunications networks. There […]
Quantum computing continues to advance at a rapid pace, but one challenge that holds the field back is mitigating the noise that plagues quantum machines. This leads to much higher error rates compared to classical […]
