The giant atoms naturally turn into a time crystal. This discovery is not just intriguing for the study of the Rydberg atoms, ...

CLUMPED AND COLD Stanford University physicists used images like this one, which depicts the concentration of rubidium atoms, to determine that they had cooled the atoms to a record-low temperature.

An illustration shows rubidium atom qubits isolated by scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and proposed for use in quantum computers. A team led by Rice University ...

In its announcement, Airbus said that the plan was to build an engineering model of an accelerometer based on rubidium atom interferometry. “Benefitting from the heritage of its research institutions, ...

Once cooled, a series of three laser flashes are shone on the atoms, creating matter waves in the rubidium atoms. According to the laws of quantum mechanics, at extremely low temperatures, atoms ...

Atom and photon do not take much notice of each other, as it were, like two party guests who hardly talk to each other, and can therefore exchange only a little information.
