A tiny shift in quantum energy levels usually associated with individual atoms has been seen in a solid for the first time by physicists in Switzerland and Canada. The team spotted the Lamb shift in a ...

Atoms of antimatter and matter are perfect mirror images, even when weird quantum phenomena come into play. The energy levels of antihydrogen atoms — the antimatter opposites of hydrogen atoms — are ...

If there is an external radiation field surrounding the atom, it influences the value of the Lamb shift. It is shown that for black-body radiation at temperature comparable to 105 degrees, the change ...

Sound measurement: artist's impression of polarons in a BEC. (Courtesy: Markus Oberthaler) The tiny influence that quantized sound waves called phonons have on atomic energy levels has been measured ...

Quantum physics has put antihydrogen under pressure. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A bubbling, raucous vacuum fills quantum ...

Physicists at CERN have found the value of the Lamb shift in antihydrogen closely agrees with the value in hydrogen This reaffirms a fundamental symmetry of nature Yet it can't tell us why we and the ...

The coherent interaction between a quantum emitter and a resonant photonic cavity is of paramount importance in the development of photon-based quantum information technologies 1,2 as well as in ...
