For the first time, physicists have entangled two atoms while they were in motion and used the result to run one of quantum ...

A ring of 10 to 30 atoms, each inflated to a fragile, oversized state and held in place by laser tweezers, has given ...

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the momentum of massive particles. The result, decades ...

A breakthrough in quantum computing achieves 99.91% accuracy using 17,000 pairs of atoms, bringing us closer to a new era in ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...

A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

Cold atom experiments trap atoms to probe quantum effects, enabling ultra-precise sensing, timekeeping, and monitoring of Earth and space phenomena. (Nanowerk News) Cold atom experiments are among the ...

This month marks 25 years since scientists first produced a fifth state of matter, which has extraordinary properties totally unlike solids, liquids, gases and plasmas. The achievement garnered a ...

Schematic of the MIT experiment: Two single atoms floating in a vacuum chamber are illuminated by a laser beam and act as the two slits. The interference of the scattered light is recorded with a ...
