Schematic levels of the 171Yb+ atomic sensor and the experimental setup

A neural network assisted 171Yb+ quantum magnetometer

A versatile magnetometer must deliver a readable response when exposed to target fields in a wide range of parameters. Researchers have experimentally demonstrated that the combination of 171Yb+ atomic sensors with adequately trained neural networks enables […]

Tuneable Gaussian entanglement in levitated nanoparticle arrays

Optically levitated nanoparticles emerged as an interesting platform for probing fundamental physics. Quantum control of their motion (including potential shaping) predisposes them for emulating various physical systems and studying quantum phenomena with massive objects. Extending […]

Chaos gives the quantum world a temperature

Two seemingly different areas of physics are related in subtle ways: Quantum theory and thermodynamics. How can the laws of thermodynamics arise from the laws of quantum physics? This question has now been pursued with […]

Quantum dots at room temp, using lab-designed protein

Quantum dots are normally made in industrial settings with high temperatures and toxic, expensive solvents — a process that is neither economical nor environmentally friendly. But researchers have now pulled off the process at the […]

Curved spacetime in the lab

In a laboratory experiment, researchers have succeeded in realizing an effective spacetime that can be manipulated. In their research on ultracold quantum gases, they were able to simulate an entire family of curved universes to […]
