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

Quantum mechanical calculations of atomic systems comprise a suite of computational methods that rigorously apply the principles of quantum mechanics to determine a range of atomic properties. These ...

Next-generation atomic timekeeping techniques could push new frontiers in quantum physics, according to a new study. Atomic clocks are essential elements in GPS and other navigation systems — and a ...

Most of the atomic clocks in the world - fewer than 500 in total - are housed at standards institutes and used to keep time ...

AMES, Iowa – Let’s see, thought James Vary, how can we have a little fun with the name of our $1 million nuclear physics project? Hmm, can we work in the term hack? So, it’s “Nuclei and Hadrons with ...

(Nanowerk News) Making quantum systems more scalable is one of the key requirements for the further development of quantum computers because the advantages they offer become increasingly evident as ...

Random numbers are critical to encryption algorithms, but they're nigh-on impossible for computers to generate. Now, Swedish researchers say they've created a new, super-secure quantum random number ...

Having good neighbours can be very valuable – even in the atomic world. A team of Amsterdam physicists was able to determine ...

When atoms collide, their exact structure—for example, the number of electrons they have or even the quantum spin of their ...

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, along with other scientists, are taking small steps to create materials that could enable quantum leaps in computing speed, security in communications and ...
