For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the way atoms physically move — bringing a phenomenon once described by Albert Einstein as "spooky action at a distance" into even ...

Getting atoms to do what you want isn’t easy — but it’s at the heart of a lot of ground-breaking research in physics. Creating and controlling the behavior of new forms of matter is of particular ...

Researchers at Stanford have taken the first snapshots of ultrafast switching inside a quantum electronic device. The team has discovered a short-lived state they believe can lead to faster and more ...

Trapping unruly atoms within laser lattices brings order to their motion, researchers say. A team of Swedish scientists used an array of 20 lasers to trap a cloud of randomly moving super-cooled atoms ...
