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.

Caltech scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)–based method that dramatically speeds up calculations of ...

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 ...

Understanding the universe's building blocks, the Standard Model categorizes particles and explains forces, yet leaves ...

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 ...
