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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This video provides a simple explanation of symmetry and gauge theory, focusing on their foundational role in physics. It ...

Vacuum birefringence -- the QED prediction that extreme magnetic fields turn empty space into an optical filter -- has its ...

Yale’s quest to build the world’s first, fully useful quantum computer is also the story of a small-town kid’s obsession with short-wave radios, a Parisian’s fond boyhood memories of America, and a ...

Richard Feynman is remembered as one of the twentieth century's greatest physicists, a Nobel Prize winner whose work transformed quantum electrodynamics and whose wit made science accessible to ...
