Rydberg atom–based electrometry exploits the exaggerated electric dipole moments of atoms in highly excited electronic states to achieve precise, traceable measurements of radio‐frequency and ...

A Rydberg atom is an excited atom with one or more electrons that have a very high principal quantum number, n. The higher the value of n, the farther the electron is from the nucleus, on average.

A team of researchers from the 5th Institute of Physics at the University of Stuttgart is making important progress in the field of quantum simulation and quantum computing based on Rydberg atoms by ...

As the charge of the ion deforms the Rydberg atom in a very specific way, the bond between the two particles emerges. Rubidium cloud cooled down close to the absolute zero To verify and study the ...

How and when quantum computers will start operating still remains uncertain. Even so, there are various suggestions for systems they could use to compute with. One example is an ultra-cold ensemble of ...

Researchers have engineered a new, exotic state of matter in a lab in Houston – a giant atom filled with other atoms. The team, from the Vienna University of Technology and Harvard University, were ...

Quantum Computer science legend, Dr John Preskill, just delivered a Q2B Quantum computer 2023 keynote talk on the state of Quantum Error correction with quantum ...

When it comes to quantum mechanics, I try to avoid writing about purely theoretical results. This is especially true of quantum computing, where, in the not-too-distant past, every researcher would ...
