Interactions between atoms and light rule the behavior of our physical world, but at the same time, can be extremely complex.

Experiments conducted at Montana State University in collaboration with Columbia University and the Honda Research Institute have resulted in the emission of single photons of light in a new type of ...

The emission of single photons from atomically thin nanoribbons marks a breakthrough in quantum materials, paving the way for ...

Now, in a recent study published in Physical Review Letters, Rey and JILA and NIST Fellow James K. Thompson, along with ...

Additionally, a six-level inverted-Y scheme has been proposed to improve the precision of two-dimensional and three-dimensional atom localization. This model demonstrates that the presence of ...

One way around this problem is to replace silicon with graphene-like 2D materials that maintain their semiconducting properties even at a single-atom scale. Another way is building 3D chips ...

Researchers saw a chain of atoms in a quantum simulator go from being magnetic to not magnetic at all, the first time such a change has ever been seen in one spatial dimension ...

Traditional computing has many limitations. Quantum technology acts as an effective alternative that allows businesses to ...

A breakthrough in decoding the growth process of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), a 2D material ... published in the journal Small. Only one atom thick, hBN—often nicknamed "white graphene ...

The researchers used thallium-lead alloys to see if this phenomenon could be observed even in layers as thin as a single atom (two-dimensional systems). They conducted the experiments in an ultra-high ...
