Physicists in Toronto observe quantum “negative time”: a pulse of light appears to leave before entering atoms.

Quantum mechanical calculations of atomic systems comprise a suite of computational methods that rigorously apply the principles of quantum mechanics to determine a range of atomic properties. These ...

Next-generation atomic timekeeping techniques could push new frontiers in quantum physics, according to a new study. Atomic clocks are essential elements in GPS and other navigation systems — and a ...

Every time you check the time on your phone, make an online transaction, or use a navigation app, you are depending on the ...

AMES, Iowa – Let’s see, thought James Vary, how can we have a little fun with the name of our $1 million nuclear physics project? Hmm, can we work in the term hack? So, it’s “Nuclei and Hadrons with ...

(Nanowerk News) Making quantum systems more scalable is one of the key requirements for the further development of quantum computers because the advantages they offer become increasingly evident as ...

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, along with other scientists, are taking small steps to create materials that could enable quantum leaps in computing speed, security in communications and ...

When atoms collide, their exact structure—for example, the number of electrons they have or even the quantum spin of their ...
