Terahertz pulses induce chirality in a non-chiral crystal

Chirality refers to objects that cannot be superimposed onto their mirror images through any combination of rotations or translations, much like the distinct left and right hands of a human. In chiral crystals, the spatial arrangement of atoms confers a specific “handedness,” which—for example—influences their optical and electrical properties.

Quantum thermometer uses giant Rydberg atoms to measure temperature more accurately

Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created a new thermometer using atoms boosted to such high energy levels that they are a thousand times larger than normal. By monitoring how these giant “Rydberg” atoms interact with heat in their environment, researchers can measure temperature with remarkable accuracy. The thermometer’s sensitivity […]

Boosted tin-based qubit signals enhance quantum communication prospects

The future of tin-based qubits is brighter thanks to breakthrough work by Stanford University researchers. Qubits are the fundamental carriers of quantum information, and scientists worldwide are engineering atoms to create reliable, long-lived qubits for processing quantum data. Quantum engineering is expected to accelerate advances in areas as diverse as medicine and finance.
