A new study, published in Physical Review Letters, reports that scientists have successfully imaged the formation of cavity-induced density waves induced by laser light in an ultracold quantum gas.

Typically, adding energy to a system makes it hotter. But last year, scientists demonstrated that quantum systems don’t always follow those patterns, finding a quantum gas that essentially refuses to ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are a kind of quantum “magnifying glass” in which ...

Quantum computers promise to solve problems that would overwhelm even the world’s fastest supercomputers. They could help ...

Quantum physics needs high-precision sensing techniques to delve deeper into the properties of materials. From the analog quantum processors that have emerged recently, the so-called quantum-gas ...

In physics, quasiparticles are used to describe complex processes in solids. In ultracold quantum gases, these quasiparticles can be reproduced and studied. Now scientists have been able to observe in ...
