In the everyday world, governed by classical physics, the concept of equilibrium reigns. If you put a drop of ink into water, it will eventually evenly mix. If you put a glass of ice water on the ...

When exposed to periodic driving, which is the time-dependent manipulation of a system's parameters, quantum systems can exhibit interesting new phases of matter that are not present in ...

Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly ...

Rydberg atoms, characterised by their highly excited electronic states, have emerged as a pivotal resource in exploring quantum simulation. Their exaggerated electromagnetic properties enable strong, ...

When a molecule absorbs light, it undergoes a whirlwind of quantum-mechanical transformations. Electrons jump between energy levels, atoms vibrate, and chemical bonds shift—all within millionths of a ...

Atoms in the optical lattice, trapped at a distance of 0.5 micron, are excited to the Rydberg state by the ultrafast excitation technique. Interaction between close Rydberg atoms results in the ...

After decades of looking, researchers have seen a string of atoms go through a 1D phase change so elusive that it could only happen inside a quantum simulator. “One motivation [for our experiment] is ...

Infleqtion (NYSE: INFQ), a global leader in quantum computing and quantum sensing powered by neutral-atom technology, announced it has been selected to receive $3.9M in funding from the U.S.

…and Toshiba-Single Quantum collaboration doubles range of secure QKD communications. Quione glass cell with strontium gas cloud in the center. Quantum physics needs high-precision sensing techniques ...

A single atom has performed the first full quantum simulations of how certain molecules react to light. The researchers who carried out the feat say that their minimalistic approach could dramatically ...
