The Smallest Quantum Computer Yet
A trapped-ion-based quantum computer that fits in two boxes, each the size of a studio apartment’s shower, can create a fully entangled 24-particle quantum state. Continue reading
Optical Fiber Modes Resist Deformations
A machine-learning approach quickly characterizes an optical fiber, identifying transmission channels that aren’t affected by deformation. Continue reading
An Optical System Defies Conventional Band Theory
Squeezed wave functions reshape an open quantum system’s
bulk-boundary properties and generate a new class of parity-time
symmetry. Continue reading
Light Pulses Change Speed in a Plasma
Interactions between two laser beams in a plasma allow for precise
control over the light’s velocity. Continue reading
Do Merging Dwarf Galaxies Explain a Peculiar Gravitational-Wave Detection?
The hard-to-explain masses of two coalescing black holes could be accounted for if they were the central black holes in two distant, tiny galaxies that merged. Continue reading
Linking Glaciers on Earth to the Climate on Mars
Geophysicist Jack Holt explains how Earth’s debris-covered glaciers can teach us about the climate history of Mars. Continue reading
Cubes Keep Their Distance
Cubes suspended in a liquid are less likely than spheres to form clusters and fall out of solution. Read more in APS Physics…
Counting All the Antistars in the Sky
Analyzing gamma-ray sources leads to an upper limit on how many antimatter stars could exist in the Milky Way. Read more in APS Physics…
Laser-Cooled Atoms and Molecules Collide in a Trap
An experiment shows the circumstances under which ultracold atoms are quick to kick molecules out of a trap, providing clues for how to use atoms as a refrigerant for molecules. Continue reading
Shape-Shifting Proteins Follow Diffusion Rules
How quickly a protein diffuses in a liquid depends directly on its radius, which changes as the protein’s conformation fluctuates. Continue reading
