Physicists have coaxed clusters of thousands of atoms into a delicate quantum limbo, creating a record breaking version of ...

Researchers have uncovered how atoms subtly rearrange themselves for up to a trillionth of a second before releasing low-energy electrons after X-ray excitation.

They combined optical tweezers with metasurfaces to trap more than 1,000 atoms, with the potential to capture hundreds of ...

Together with an international team, researchers from the Molecular Physics Department at the Fritz Haber Institute have ...

A new light-based breakthrough could help quantum computers finally scale up. Stanford researchers created miniature optical cavities that efficiently collect light from individual atoms, allowing ...
