Scientists at NIST have developed a radical new method of focusing a stream of ions into a point as small as one nanometer, a versatile ion source that is expected to have broad application in ...

The University of Maryland has created the largest quantum simulation using 53 trapped-ion qubits. It is the largest quantum simulation ever performed with high- efficiency single-shot measurements of ...

The molecule observed at the University of Stuttgart exhibits a special feature: It consists of a positive electrically charged ion and a neutral atom in a so-called Rydberg state. These Rydberg atoms ...

The cooling and trapping of particles facilitates their precise interrogation and manipulation. Cooling lowers the momentum spread of particles and allows the interparticle interactions to dominate ...

Since the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) was proposed by the United States, Chinese government has launched the Materials Genome project in 2016. By using artificial intelligence and machine ...

Chemical reaction: the magneto-optical trap used to study hypermetallic alkaline earth oxides A magneto-optical trap has been used by physicists in the US to study how ions and atoms interact to ...

On the one hand, natural atoms (such as neutral atoms and ions) have long coherence times, and could be stored in large arrays, providing ideal “quantum memories”. On the other hand, artificial atoms ...

Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore image: Researchers have built a fridge that's just three atoms big at the Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National ...

The daily recharge of smartphones may become a thing of the past if battery researchers can get lithium ions to behave in a different way. Northwestern University and Argonne National Laboratory this ...
