A team of physicists has shown that pairs of helium atoms, chilled to near absolute zero and launched into each other, can ...

Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

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

In the pursuit of powerful and stable quantum computers, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed the theory for an entirely new quantum system – based on the novel ...
