Physicists at the Australian National University have observed pairs of atoms existing in two places at once for the first time, a result that extends one of quantum mechanics’ strangest properties ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

Using single-atom-resolved microscopy, ultracold quantum gases composed of two types of atoms reveal distinctly different spatial correlations — the bosons on the left exhibit bunching, while the ...

For the first time, physicists have entangled two atoms while they were in motion and used the result to run one of quantum ...
