In atom-based quantum technologies, motion is seen as a nuisance. The tiniest atomic jiggle or vibration can scramble the delicate quantum information stored in internal states such as the atom’s ...

Quantum stochastic rectification is a process observed in some physical systems, which entails the conversion of random ...

In the 1950s, Stanley Miller and Nobel laureate Harold Urey conducted experiments at the University of Chicago in which they ...

A new laboratory experiment uses a water tornado to simulate key processes in planet formation within protoplanetary discs.

In a paper published in Nature Physics, the Caltech team uses its new method to precisely compute the strength of electron-phonon interactions and to predict associated effects quantitatively. The ...
