Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly with each other. These atoms are widely used to run quantum simulations and ...

University of Bristol physics professor Sir Michael Berry visited the University of Wisconsin on Monday to for a seminar on geometric phase. The seminar was part of the Chemistry Department’s Willard ...

After decades of looking, researchers have seen a string of atoms go through a 1D phase change so elusive that it could only happen inside a quantum simulator. “One motivation [for our experiment] is ...

Recently, a research team led by Prof. GUO Guangcan, Prof. SHI Baosen and Prof. ZHOU Zhiyuan from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), realized a harmonics-assisted optical phase ...
