Many atomic nuclei have a magnetic field similar to that of Earth. However, directly at the surface of a heavy nucleus such as lead or bismuth, ... (QED)—the quantum theory of electromagnetism.

According to standard quantum theory, ... X-Ray Emission from Atomic Systems Can Distinguish between Prevailing Dynamical Wave-Function Collapse Models, Physical Review Letters (2024).

University of Oxford physicists have linked two atomic clocks through quantum entanglement for the first time. The feat can help make these clocks so precise that they begin to approach the ...

The theory of quantum electrodynamics, which describes interactions of electrically charged particles and light, has been checked to painstaking precision (SN: 2/23/23).

The model has been superseded since Niels Bohr first proposed it in 1913, as our understanding of the quantum world advanced. Erwin Schroedinger proposed a new atomic model that dispensed with ...

WE publish this week, as a special supplement, the substance of an address by Prof. N. Bohr on the development of the theory of atomic structure, and in particular of the latest form and ...

There may be an infinite amount of energy locked in the vacuum of space-time. So could we ever harness this energy for ...

They’re hoping the work leads to “our ultimate goal of achieving quantum advantage,” the researchers wrote. That would be quantum computers becoming the best tool to model and study nuclei and all the ...

In order to develop improved electrolyzers for regenerative hydrogen production, the processes on the surfaces of the metal ...

Rubidium appears on the periodic table as one of the alkaline metals, with the atomic number 37. To get the atom to carry quantum information, researchers will shine a laser at it to excite it to ...
