Figure 1: Among the key ingredients necessary to derive the Born rule, Zhang observes that additivity is indispensable in existing derivations. Figure 1: Among the key ingredients necessary to derive ...

Zhou and his colleagues considered a well-established technique known as reconstruction of attosecond beating by interference of two-photon transitions (RABBIT). In RABBIT, a train of ...

An ultrafast optical technique uncovers new clues to the origin of bulk polarization in quantum ferroelectric materials.

Neutrino astronomy and the effort to build a cubic-kilometer-sized detector at the South Pole are recognized by the 2026 ...

A new device in which more than 600 atoms are manipulated within a single optical cavity could allow for the scaling up of neutral-atom quantum computers. Neutral-atom arrays are a leading platform ...

Pairing superconducting qubits with microwave cavities could reduce the hardware requirements for quantum simulations of fundamental physics. Performing simulations of quantum systems on an ordinary ...

When intense quantum light knocks electrons out of atoms, the statistics of the light can be transferred to the electrons. Strong-field ionization—a process in which intense laser light strips ...

Two independent teams have built operating nuclear clocks—devices that might one day rival the best atomic clocks and offer new ways to probe fundamental physics. Photograph of the thorium-229-doped ...

The superconductivity of uranium ditelluride (UTe 2) has a low critical temperature typical of superconducting uranium compounds. Yet its response to an applied magnetic field is extraordinary. Not ...
