Scientists at CERN’s Baryon Antibaryon Symmetry Experiment (BASE) have achieved a major breakthrough in antimatter research after they successfully demonstrated the world’s first antimatter quantum ...

In a breakthrough for antimatter research, the BASE collaboration at CERN has kept an antiproton—the antimatter counterpart of a proton—oscillating smoothly between two different quantum states for ...

The demonstration of the first antimatter quantum bit paves the way for substantially improved tests of nature’s fundamental symmetries. Particles such as the antiproton, which has the same mass but ...

A rare spectroscopy technique performed at Swinburne University of Technology directly quantifies the energy required to bind two excitons together, providing for the first time a direct measurement ...

In recent years, entangled photons, as a popular quantum light source, have been widely used in quantum imaging, optical interferometry, quantum computing, quantum communication, and other fields. The ...

The explanation behind the universe’s matter-antimatter asymmetry—an apparent violation of a fundamental law of nature known as charge-parity-time (CPT) symmetry—is one of particle physics’ greatest ...

Ultrafast laser spectroscopy allows the ascertainment of dynamics over extremely short time scales, making it a very useful tool in many scientific and industrial applications. A major disadvantage is ...

Swiss research center EPFL has used an integrated photonics approach to efficiently modulate an electron beam, potentially offering a new platform for investigations into free-electron quantum optics.
