Physicists are now using a tightly controlled laser and a cloud of ultracold atoms to imitate the behavior of electrons in solids, effectively building a quantum version of electronics out of light ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made a significant discovery regarding ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

Indian scientists have developed a non-invasive technique that allows real-time measurement of the local density of ...

The research was published in the journal Science ("Observation of Shapiro steps in an ultracold atomic Josephson junction"). Two superconductors separated by a wafer-thin insulating layer – that's ...

A view inside the trapped-ion quantum computer that carried out a first-of-its-kind simulation of molecular chemistry. A single atom has performed the first full quantum simulations of how certain ...

Lattice gauge theory provides a powerful framework for discretising gauge theories to explore the fundamental interactions that underlie particle physics and complex condensed matter phenomena. By ...

For the first time, scientists have observed the iconic Shapiro steps, a staircase-like quantum effect, in ultracold atoms. In a recent experiment, an alternating current was applied to a Josephson ...

Google LLC’s quantum division today released research showing that its Willow quantum chip can provide elegant and accurate simulations about the physical properties of molecules much faster than ...

A single atom has performed the first full quantum simulations of how certain molecules react to light. The researchers who carried out the feat say that their minimalistic approach could dramatically ...
