Physicists have been given the first glimpse of nuclear excitation by electron capture (NEEC), confirming theoretical predictions that were made more than 40 years ago. The global team – led by Jeff ...

(Nanowerk News) By using photons and electron spin qubits to control nuclear spins in a two-dimensional material, researchers at Purdue University have opened a new frontier in quantum science and ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, have the potential of outperforming classical systems on some tasks. Instead of storing information as bits, ...

Nuclear spins in diamonds are promising candidates for quantum technologies because of their long coherence times The key to diamond quantum applications is the nitrogen-vacancy center in the crystal ...

Physicists have now demonstrated experimentally the ability to coherently manipulate the wave function of a free electron down to the attosecond timescale (10-18 of a second). The team also developed ...

HZDR (German) scientists are investigating whether controlled fusion could be facilitated with the assistance of tunneling processes using radiation But that is also a question of energy: the lower it ...

Talent factory: the US already has a lot of accelerator expertise that could help build a future electron-ion collider such as at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, which operates the Relativistic ...

As published Monday (Aug. 15) in Nature Materials, the research team used electron spin qubits as atomic-scale sensors, and also to effect the first experimental control of nuclear spin qubits in ...
