This paper describes the fabrication of chip-scale alkali atom vapor cells, for use in highly miniaturized atomic frequency references, using silicon micromachining and anodic bonding technology. The ...

The spiritual view of life is trapped between two opposite words, physics and metaphysics, the study of the physical world and the study of what might lie beyond the physical. Given a choice ...

The idea of powering a house with a single atom might seem like science fiction, but recent advancements in nuclear physics ...

So, what exactly is quantum computing? It's a type of computing that relies on the principles of quantum mechanics, or how subatomic particles interact.

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

An atom consists of a heavy center, called the nucleus, made of particles called protons and neutrons. An atom has lighter particles called electrons that you can think of as orbiting around the ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...
