Researchers Map the Location of Missing Baryons in the Galactic Halos

Researchers have channeled the universe's earliest light - a relic of the universe's formation known as the cosmic microwave background (CMB) - to solve a missing-matter mystery and learn new things about galaxy formation.

Observations of the Early Universe Point to the Existence of Unsuspected Dwarf Galaxies

Although the filaments of gas in which galaxies are born have long been predicted by cosmological models, we have so far had no real images of such objects. Now for the first time, several filaments of the 'cosmic web' have been directly observed using the MUSE (1) instrument installed on ESO's Very Large Telescope in Chile.

Using Synchrotron Radiation to Track Ultrafast Intra-Atom Motion

Scientists in Japan have observed, and interfered with, the ultrafast motion of electron movement inside of a Xenon atom using the coherent pairs of short light waves in synchrotron radiation.

Novel Quantum Algorithm Precisely Measures the Ionization Energies of Atoms, Molecules

Quantum computers have seen a lot attention recently as they are expected to solve certain problems that are outside the capabilities of normal computers. Primary to these problems is determining the electronic states of atoms and molecules so they can be used more effectively in a variety of industries - from lithium-ion battery designs to in silico technologies in drug development.

Study Reveals a Spectacular Auroral Phenomenon that Occurs on Jupiter

The storms, which consist of brightenings and broadenings of the dawn flank of an oval of auroral activity that encircles Jupiter's poles, evolve in a pattern surprisingly reminiscent of familiar surges in the aurora that undulate across Earth's polar skies, called auroral substorms, according to the authors.

New Smart Quantum Technology for Spatial Mode Correction of Single Photons

Researchers from Louisiana State University have introduced a smart quantum technology for the spatial mode correction of single photons. In a paper featured on the cover of the March 2021 issue of Advanced Quantum Technologies, the authors exploit the self-learning and self-evolving features of artificial neural networks to correct the distorted spatial profile of single photons.

University of Maine Researcher Wins NSF CAREER Award to Study Thermal Emission in Quantum Materials

Components the size of a few atoms, known as quantum materials, can enhance how technology functions and manages its heat. However, little is known about how heat is emitted and exchanged in quantum materials in contrast with their more common counterparts, three-dimensional bulk materials.

Increase in Funding Allows Sweden's Quantum Computer Project to Shift Up a Gear

( Chalmers University of Technology ) Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation is almost doubling the annual budget of the research initiative Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology, based at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. This will allow the centre to shift up a gear and set even higher goals - especially in its development of a quantum computer. Two international workshops will kick-start this new phase.

Using Tailored Light Pulses to Individually Address Quantum Emitters

In order to exploit the properties of quantum physics technologically, quantum objects and their interaction must be precisely controlled. In many cases, this is done using light. Researchers at the University of Innsbruck and the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences have now developed a method to individually address quantum emitters using tailored light pulses.
