A sensitive matter-wave interferometer measuring moiré fringes offers force sensitivity comparable to quantum interference ...

Physicists in Israel have created a quantum interferometer on an atom chip. This device can be used to explore the fundamentals of quantum theory by studying the interference pattern between two beams ...

It may sound like an oxymoron, but this massive nanoparticle made up of 7,000 sodium atoms is the largest to exhibit such ...

One of the most important experiments of quantum physics gets a makeover: When neutrons are fired at a crystal, they can be made to travel along two paths at the same time. Until now, this was only ...

Purdue faculty dedicate countless hours to exploring the frontiers of their respective fields, pushing the boundaries of knowledge and contributing to the ever-evolving landscape of academia. To ...

Interferometers are research instruments that are utilized in many disciplines of science and technology. Interferometers are so-called because they function by combining multiple sources of light to ...

Extremely precise measurements are possible using atom interferometers that employ the wave character of atoms for this purpose. They can thus be used, for example, to measure the gravitational field ...

A team of researchers from France has developed the first three-directional hybrid quantum inertial sensor, which can measure acceleration without using satellite signals. At the heart of this ...

University of Illinois Physics Professor Paul Kwiat and members of his research group have developed a new tool for precision measurement at the nanometer scale in scenarios where background noise and ...
