After many years of development of the basic tools, quantum simulation with ultracold atoms has now reached the level of maturity at which it can be used to investigate complex quantum processes.

Matter is made up of very small parts called atoms. Atoms can combine in different numbers and in different ways to make different molecules. Atoms and molecules make up all of the different ...

A trapped cloud of ultracold atoms, colder than almost anything found in nature, has become the setting for a deceptively simple question: if a universe has no built-in clock, how could anything ...

The ultimate degree of control for engineering would be the ability to create and manipulate materials at the most basic level, fabricating devices atom by atom with precise control. Now, scientists ...

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, researchers have captured the hidden, never-ending vibrations of atoms inside molecules. This first-ever direct view of zero-point motion reveals that ...

Curious Kids is a series for children of all ages. If you have a question you’d like an expert to answer, send it to CuriousKidsUS@theconversation.com. How do atoms form? – Joshua, age 7, Shoreview, ...

Cooling atoms to ultra-low temperatures reveals the striking differences between fermions and bosons at the quantum level. When the 2001 Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded to Eric Cornell and Carl ...

Over the past 20 years, scientists have been developing ways of using neutral atoms for quantum computing 1. Writing in Nature, Bluvstein et al. 2 demonstrate how far these methods have come: the ...

Researchers at the Center for Quantum Nanoscience (QNS) within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) at Ewha Womans University have made a major scientific breakthrough by performing the world's ...
