Highly charged heavy ions form a very suitable experimental field for investigating quantum electrodynamics (QED), the best-tested theory in physics describing all electrical and magnetic interactions ...

A magnetar located in our Galaxy could provide one of the clearest pieces of evidence for a quantum effect predicted since ...

Spin glasses are physical systems in which the small magnetic moments of particles (i.e., spins) interact with each other in a random way. These random interactions between spins make it impossible ...

Quantum electrodynamics in waveguide systems explores how individual quantum emitters interact with confined light modes guided along one-dimensional structures. By engineering the dispersive and ...

Researchers engineered vacuum fluctuations around an ultrathin material, enhancing superconductivity and enabling new control ...

For the last 80 years, the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which describes all electromagnetic interactions, has been a cornerstone of the standard model, withstanding the scrutiny of ...

Published in Nature, the study details observations of 1E 1547.0-5408, a magnetar formed by a massive star’s supernova ...
