Time already behaves strangely in modern physics. It can stretch, slow, and split depending on speed and gravity.

Atomic clocks are a class of clocks that leverage resonance frequencies of atoms to keep time with high precision. While these clocks have become increasingly advanced and accurate over the years, ...

Nuclear effect The deformed shape of the ytterbium-173 nucleus (right) makes it possible to excite the clock transition with a relatively low-power laser. The same transition is forbidden (left) if ...

In Albert Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity, the concept of “time dilation” illustrates that the flow of time is ...

(Nanowerk News) Research led by The University of Manchester has found that ions diffuse 10,000 times faster inside atomically thin clays than in bulk clay crystals. Clays are used in a wide variety ...

Internal energy levels of a single atom represent nature’s perfect qubit – the quantum two-level system that is the building block of quantum computing technology. At the Duke Quantum Center, we trap ...

Quantum technology has opened a whole new world of potential advances in secure communications, information technology and high precision sensors. This technology is poised to provide solutions to ...
