An experiment resolves the tiny momentum transferred from an individual gas molecule to a levitated nanoparticle.

A technique known as ghost imaging has been adapted so that an object can be imaged by discarding all photons that interact with it. Split a beam of light in two and direct one beam (the reference) to ...

An ultrafast optical technique uncovers new clues to the origin of bulk polarization in quantum ferroelectric materials. In classical ferroelectric materials, electric dipoles in the material line up ...

Figure 1: Among the key ingredients necessary to derive the Born rule, Zhang observes that additivity is indispensable in existing derivations. Figure 1: Among the key ingredients necessary to derive ...

Zhou and his colleagues considered a well-established technique known as reconstruction of attosecond beating by interference of two-photon transitions (RABBIT). In RABBIT, a train of ...

A new device in which more than 600 atoms are manipulated within a single optical cavity could allow for the scaling up of neutral-atom quantum computers. Neutral-atom arrays are a leading platform ...

Regions within a cell in which biomolecules are concentrated, called condensates, form different structures when enzymes are involved, according to experiments. A biomolecular condensate is a small ...

When intense quantum light knocks electrons out of atoms, the statistics of the light can be transferred to the electrons.

Two independent teams have built operating nuclear clocks—devices that might one day rival the best atomic clocks and offer ...
