Researchers at the University of Basel and the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel have demonstrated how quantum mechanical ...
Delve into the detail of atomic physics. As the basic units of matter, atoms are the building blocks for everything in the universe. Once thought to be indivisible, we now know they can indeed be ...
For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more accurate clocks: optical atomic clocks. In a few years' time, they could ...
A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...
Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...
Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...
The Martin A. Fisher School of Physics enjoys an international reputation for excellence in research, and is one of the highest-ranked of its size in the country. The department offers rigorous ...
This section of our lecture series is all about the weird and wonderful world of quantum mechanics. It’s not just abstract ...
