Atomic timekeeping, on the go
Nov 13, 2014 (SPX)
What time is it? The answer, no matter what your initial reference may be -- a wristwatch, a smartphone, or an alarm clock -- will always trace back to the atom...
A Piece of the Quantum Puzzle
Nov 13, 2014 (SPX)
While the Martinis Lab at UC Santa Barbara has been focusing on quantum computation, former postdoctoral fellow Pedram Roushan and several colleagues have been ...
UT Arlington physics group combining photonics and biotech
Nov 12, 2014 (SPX)
A University of Texas at Arlington physics team is using their expertise in the field of optics and photonics to advance new methods in areas such as mapping th...
Noise in a microwave amplifier is limited by quantum particles of heat
Nov 11, 2014 (SPX)
As part of an international collaboration, scientists at Chalmers University of Technology have demonstrated how noise in a microwave amplifier is limited by se...
New electron spin secrets revealed
Nov 11, 2014 (SPX)
Researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and the University of Cambridge in the UK have demonstrated that it is possible to di...
Good vibrations give electrons excitations
Nov 11, 2014 (SPX)
For more than 50 years, scientists have debated what turns particular oxide insulators, in which electrons barely move, into metals, in which electrons flow fre...
Maybe it wasn't the Higgs particle after all
Nov 11, 2014 (SPX)
Last year CERN announced the finding of a new elementary particle, the Higgs particle. But maybe it wasn't the Higgs particle, maybe it just looks like it. And ...
CERN discovery could be Higgs, could be another particle
Nov 07, 2014 (UPI)
Scientists were quite excited when researchers last year announced they had observed the Higgs particle in the CERN particle accelerator known as the Large Hadr...
Transitions between states of matter: It's more complicated, scientists find
Nov 07, 2014 (SPX)
The seemingly simple process of phase changes--those transitions between states of matter--is more complex than previously known, according to research based at...
The Peres conjecture is false!
Nov 06, 2014 (SPX)
Since 1999, the conjecture by Asher Peres, who invented quantum teleportation, has piqued the interest of many scientists in the field. According to his hypothe...
Disorder + disorder = more disorder?
Nov 05, 2014 (SPX)
If you took the junk from the back of your closet and combined it with the dirty laundry already on your floor, you would have an even bigger mess. While this p...
Plasma: Casimir and Yukawa mesons
Nov 04, 2014 (SPX)
A new theoretical work establishes a long-sought-after connection between nuclear particles and electromagnetic theories. Its findings suggest that there is an ...
Two photons strongly coupled by glass fiber
Nov 04, 2014 (SPX)
Two photons in free space do not interact. Light waves can pass through each other without having any influence on each other at all. For many applications in q...
String field theory could be the foundation of quantum mechanics
Nov 04, 2014 (SPX)
Two USC researchers have proposed a link between string field theory and quantum mechanics that could open the door to using string field theory - or a broader ...
Ultracold disappearing act
Nov 04, 2014 (SPX)
A disappearing act was the last thing Rice University physicist Randy Hulet expected to see in his ultracold atomic experiments, but that is what he and his stu...
Sussex physicists find simple solution for quantum technology challenge
Nov 03, 2014 (SPX)
A solution to one of the key challenges in the development of quantum technologies has been proposed by University of Sussex physicists. In a paper published in...
Griffith scientists propose existence and interaction of parallel worlds
Oct 31, 2014 (SPX)
Griffith University academics are challenging the foundations of quantum science with a radical new theory based on the existence of, and interactions between, ...
Physicists Closer to Understanding Balance of Matter, Antimatter
Oct 29, 2014 (SPX)
Distinguished Professor Sheldon Stone and his colleagues recently announced their findings at a workshop at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. Titled "Implications of...
Can the wave function of an electron be divided and trapped?
Oct 29, 2014 (SPX)
New research by physicists from Brown University puts the profound strangeness of quantum mechanics in a nutshell - or, more accurately, in a helium bubble. Exp...
New evidence for an exotic, predicted superconducting state
Oct 28, 2014 (SPX)
Superconductors and magnetic fields do not usually get along. But a research team led by a Brown University physicist has produced new evidence for an exotic su...
