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

Scientists from the MIT and Harvard have come up with a new way of connecting particles using rubidium atoms and a lattice of light. The new findings could spur the development of quantum computers.

News Release 5-Nov-2013 A single-atom light switch With just a single atom, light can be switched between two fibre optic cables at the Vienna University of Technology.

A new experiment reported by Stephan Ritter et al. in Nature has achieved a simple two-node quantum network, in which a single photon successfully transferred the spin state of one rubidium atom ...

A Single-photon Server With Just One Atom Date: March 14, 2007 Source: Max Planck Society Summary: Every time you switch on a light bulb, 10 to the power of 15 (a million times a billion) visible ...

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, ...

Hundreds of millions of measurements made over 1500 hours showed that the overall probability that a single Rubidium atom would absorb a single photon of either type was just over 4 percent.

A data memory can hardly be any smaller: researchers working with Gerhard Rempe at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching have stored quantum information in a single atom. The ...

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 ...

When the first, or control, laser suddenly turns off, the second laser imprints the quantum identity of its red pulses onto the rubidium atoms, effectively storing the red light.

A data memory can hardly be any smaller: researchers working with Gerhard Rempe at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching have stored quantum information in a single atom. The ...
