Physicists at the UK’s Central Laser Facility have recorded the first observation of quantum radiation reaction, detecting how electrons lose energy in ways that classical physics cannot explain when ...

Physicists have long theorized the existence of a unique state of matter known as a quantum spin liquid. In this state, magnetic particles do not settle into an orderly pattern, even at absolute zero ...

The Aharonov-Bohm effect occupies a pivotal position in modern quantum theory, demonstrating that charged particles are influenced by electromagnetic potentials even in regions where the associated ...

Quantum electrodynamics (QED) provides the fundamental framework for understanding the intricate interactions between light and matter. In the realm of heavy ions—atoms stripped of most of their ...

Visualisation of the QED interactions in boron-like tin ions. Highly charged heavy ions form a very suitable experimental field for investigating quantum electrodynamics (QED), the best-tested theory ...

Garching, in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Randolf Pohl from the Institute for Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), have successfully conducted experiments on hydrogen atoms which ...

Does quantum physics place limits on the extent to which we have free will? This long-debated question stems from the way different physicists interpret the mathematics of quantum theory, but now ...

Theoretical physicists along with an experimental team have found evidence of a quantum spin liquid in a material known as pyrochlore cerium stannate. They achieved this by combining state-of-the-art ...
