A team of physicists has developed a theory describing how to both detect weak electrical signals and cool electrical circuits using light and something very like a nanosized loudspeakerRead More
Four Fellows of the Joint Quantum Institute were recognized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the U.S. Department of Commerce in the 2011 annual awards ceremonies.Read More
Dressing atoms with laser light allows high angular momentum scattering to be seen for the first time in long-lived atomic Bose-Einstein condensates at ultracold temperatures.Read More
JQI Co-Director Steve Rolston has been elected to be a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.Read More
Researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute have shown that an optical lattice system exhibits a never-before-seen quantum state called a topological semimetal. This semimetal can undergo a new type of phase transition to a topological insulator.Read More
Scientists have demonstrated that a superconducting detector is capable of counting the number of as many as 1,000 photons in a single pulse of light with an accuracy limited mainly by the quantum noise of the laser source.Read More
Norman F. Ramsey, a giant in the field of atomic physics, passed away at age 96 on November 4, 2011.Read More
A team of physicists working at NIST has shown for the first time how the many parts in a theoretical quantum computer might communicate effectively.Read More
