New study: Physicists identify energy states of individual atoms following a collision
Physicists in the team of Professor Dr. Herwig Ott have succeeded for the first time in directly observing collisions between highly excited atoms,…
Quantum heat engine: Kaiserslautern researchers develop powerful miniature motor
Classical motors convert a form of energy such as heat into mechanical work. Can these laws also be transferred to a miniature machine that consists…
Cool down fast to advance quantum nanotechnology
An international team of scientists have found an easy way to trigger an unusual state of matter called a Bose-Einstein condensate.
Single atom as measuring probe uses quantum information for the first time
Physicists from Kaiserslautern and a colleague from Hanover have succeeded for the first time in using a single caesium atom as a sensor for ultracold…
Study: Collision of individual atoms leads to twofold change of angular momentum
Thanks to new technology, it is possible to retain individual atoms, move them in a targeted manner or change their condition. Kaiserslautern…
STUDY: ATOMIC CONTAMINATION SIMILAR TO THAT OF GEMSTONES SERVES AS A QUANTUM INFORMATION CARRIER
Impurities from Individual atomic impurities are also present in other materials, for example in gemstones. They are also responsible for various…
