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

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...

UC Santa Barbara researchers are working to move cold atom quantum experiments and applications from the laboratory tabletop to chip-based systems, opening new possibilities for sensing, precision ...

Dark energy—a mysterious force pushing the universe apart at an ever-increasing rate—was discovered 26 years ago, and ever since, scientists have been searching for a new and exotic particle causing ...

Even for scientists who have dedicated their lives to understanding gravity, the force’s relentless downward pull is sometimes a drag. Consider, for instance, the researchers who study Bose-Einstein ...

Physicists have found a way to redistribute uncertainty in quantum measurements, paving the way for ultra-sensitive ...

Researchers kept more than 6,000 qubits coherent while operating with 99.98% accuracy. Here's why that matters for quantum ...
