Quantum geometry describes quantum states in systems with changing system parameters, such as an electron spinning in a magnetic field whose direction is slowly changing. The state of the electron ...

Experimental physicist David Weld’s experimental research interest lies in a question that has been around for a long time, but which we’re only now approaching the ability to investigate. “There’s a ...

Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to ...

World-leading atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physicist David DeMille is looking for new particles and forces that could answer fundamental questions about the universe and solve some of the ...

New quantum category: Physicists have revealed a one-dimensional system that could host anyons, particles that defy the boson–fermion classification. Tunable particle behavior: These anyons may be ...

Four Princeton University researchers — Nathalie de Leon, Julia Mikhailova, Barry Rand and Jeff Thompson — are among the 21 winners of the 2023 Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Experimental Physics ...

All around us are elements forged in stars, from the nickel and copper in coins to the gold and silver in jewelry. Scientists have a good understanding of how these elements form: In many cases, a ...

A team at the University of Oxford has coaxed a single trapped ion into a quantum state so exotic it has no classical ...

PASADENA, Calif.–Jay Marx, an experimental particle physicist who in recent decades has been involved in several of the highest-profile physics projects in the country, has been named executive ...
