Physicists at the UK’s Central Laser Facility have recorded the first observation of quantum radiation reaction, detecting ...

Optical microcavities have emerged as pivotal tools in modern photonics, enabling the manipulation and control of light within minuscule volumes. By confining electromagnetic fields in high‐quality ...

Spin glasses are physical systems in which the small magnetic moments of particles (i.e., spins) interact with each other in a random way. These random interactions between spins make it impossible ...

Visualisation of the QED interactions in boron-like tin ions. Highly charged heavy ions form a very suitable experimental field for investigating quantum electrodynamics (QED), the best-tested theory ...

Taking quantum circuits from a vague academic notion to the factory floor in just over 40 years might sound daunting — even impossible. But as Yale physicist Robert Schoelkopf explains, it all came ...

Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly with each other. These atoms are widely used to run quantum simulations and ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...
