Cold atom experiments are among the most powerful and precise ways of investigating and measuring the universe and exploring ...

By using something called a quantum grid, scientists have found a clever way to simultaneously measure momentum and position ...

Ordinary atoms are minuscule, but Rydberg atoms—created by nudging an atom’s outermost electron into a very high orbit—are ...

STARKVILLE, Miss.—Benjamin Crider, a Mississippi State associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is part of the first—and groundbreaking—experiment at the new Facility for Rare ...

New study proposes using atomic clocks to probe the intersection of quantum mechanics and general relativity in spacetime.

Physicists in Australia and Britain have reshaped quantum uncertainty to sidestep the restriction imposed by the famous ...

While many Earth-based experiments have been run to try to detect dark matter, the mysterious substance remains elusive. Now physicists have proposed a new experiment that would try to find signals by ...

Forging world-leading limits on how dark matter interacts with ordinary matter, the team utilized a new experimental technique called QROCODILE (Quantum Resolution-Optimized Cryogenic Observatory for ...
