Atom Computing describes itself as “a company obsessed with building the world’s most scalable quantum computers out of optically trapped neutral atoms.” The company recently revealed it had spent the ...

Scientists have measured the influence of the ambient temperature on strontium atoms for the first time – measurement uncertainty has been reduced by one order of magnitude. An optical clock with ...

Using an ultra-stable laser to manipulate strontium atoms trapped in a "lattice" made of light, scientists at JILA (a joint institute of NIST and the University of Colorado at Boulder) have ...

A quantum physicist at the University of Oxford, has captured a nearly impossible photo remarkable enough to win the overall price in a science photography competition. The Engineering and Physical ...

Patrick Moorhead, Chief Analyst and founder of Moor Insights and Strategy, and I recently attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Boulder, Colorado, for Atom Computing’s new research and development ...

The JILA strontium lattice clock is about 50 percent more precise than the record holder of the past few years, NIST’s quantum logic clock. Precision refers to how closely the clock approaches the ...

An Austrian group has beaten its US counterpart by a matter of days in a race to create a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of strontium atoms. Researchers at the Institute of Quantum Optics and ...

When it goes online, the MAGIS-100 experiment at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and its successors will explore the nature of gravitational waves and search for ...
