Twisting and binding matter waves with photons in a cavity

Quantum Physics News

02 May 2024

Precisely measuring the energy states of individual atoms has been a historical challenge for physicists due to atomic recoil. When an atom interacts with a photon, the atom "recoils" in the opposite direction, making it difficult to measure the position and momentum of the atom precisely. This...

Researchers unlock potential of 2D magnetic devices for future computing

Quantum Physics News

01 May 2024

A research team has created an innovative method to control tiny magnetic states within ultrathin, two-dimensional van der Waals magnets -- a process akin to how flipping a light switch controls a bulb....

Researchers build new device that is a foundation for quantum computing

Quantum Physics News

01 May 2024

Scientists led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst have adapted a device called a microwave circulator for use in quantum computers, allowing them for the first time to precisely tune the exact degree of nonreciprocity between a qubit, the fundamental unit of quantum computing, and a...

New work reveals the 'quantumness' of gravity

Quantum Physics News

01 May 2024

Gravity is part of our everyday life. Still, the gravitational force remains mysterious: to this day we do not understand whether its ultimate nature is geometrical, as Einstein envisaged, or governed by the laws of quantum mechanics....

Generating graph states of atomic ensembles via photon-mediated entanglement

Quantum Physics News

01 May 2024

Graph states, a class of entangled quantum states that can be represented by graphs, have been the topic of numerous recent physics studies, due to their intriguing properties. These unique properties could make them particularly promising for quantum computing applications, as well as a wider range...
