MIT’s quantum experiment validates Bohr’s theory and disproves Einstein’s local realism using ultracold atoms and single ...

Interestingly, it has definitively resolved a long-standing debate between quantum giants Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr ...

Ultracold means temperatures less than about one thousandth of degree above absolute zero. Achieving such frigid extremes requires reducing the kinetic energy of molecules as well as their "internal ...

This quantum balancing act—long debated by Einstein and Bohr—was tested without traditional “spring” components, instead relying on atomic “fuzziness” to confirm Bohr’s view: you can’t observe both ...

The ability to produce cold and ultracold molecules has opened new avenues to probe fundamental physics, develop novel technologies and understand quantum chemical phenomena. Through precise ...

Controlled reaction: artists impression of two identical molecules colliding (left) to create an intermediate complex (centre). The complex sets off an interaction that changes the final state of the ...

The experimental realization of large-scale many-body systems in atomic-optical architectures has seen immense progress in recent years, rendering full tomography tools for state identification ...

Exotic, ultracold states of matter are challenging physicists to draw on expertise from atomic, condensed-matter and plasma physics, and causing a few surprises along the way The ultracold world has ...

In fact, in 2018 NASA launched an ultracold atom experiment into space. The space agency’s Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL) has been cooling atoms onboard the International Space Station (ISS) ever since.

Ultracold atoms dressed by light simulate gauge theories Date: August 10, 2022 Source: ICFO-The Institute of Photonic Sciences Summary: Researchers have used the coldest systems in the universe to ...

The exquisite control we can exert over ultracold atoms lets physicists simulate materials with unusual properties either by shaking the atoms, or putting them together one at a time.
