Atomic, molecular and optical physics lies at the intersection of quantum mechanics and electromagnetic theory, providing the fundamental framework for our understanding of matter and light.

Traditional computers rely on binary bits for computation, while quantum computers utilize quantum bits that have superposition properties. The research team chose atoms as carriers for quantum bits ...

The use of atomic clocks could help bring cosmology and astrophysics "down to Earth" by allowing scientists to investigate the mysteries of dark energy and dark matter in the lab. When you purchase ...

Physicists at the University of Oxford have successfully linked two atomic clocks through quantum entanglement for the first time. The feat can help make these clocks so precise that they begin to ...

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 ...

The Journal of Mind and Behavior, Vol. 40, No. 3/4 (Summer and Autumn 2019), pp. 213-224 (12 pages) Quantum theory is still novel in physics and new findings are regularly reported. The theory affirms ...

Scientific clockmakers have crafted a prototype of a nuclear clock, hinting at future possibilities for using atomic nuclei to perform precise measurements of time and make new tests of fundamental ...

Scientists awarded for light pulses that capture electron moves Findings could advance electronics and medical diagnostics Laureates share $1 million prize Second Nobel prize of this year's line-up ...

An experiment carried out at CERN's ISOLDE facility has determined the western shore of a small island of atomic nuclei, ...

From the outside, the high-speed collisions of atomic nuclei inside particle accelerators like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may seem like they have very little in common with more mundane ...
