A technique known as a “weak measurement”, which allows physicists to measure certain properties of a quantum system without disturbing it, is being called into question by two physicists based in ...

The LHCb collaboration recently reported on the arXiv preprint server the first observation of the decay of the Bc+ meson (composed of two heavy quarks, b and c) into a J/ψ charm-anticharm quark bound ...

Over the past 20 years, a strange idea called a "weak value" has taken root in quantum information science. Many of the things you can do with quantum technologies entail being able to gain ...

Compared to scribbling mathematical expressions for entangled quantum states on a sheet of paper, producing real entanglement is a tricky task. In the lab, physicists can only claim a prepared quantum ...

Nuclear spin tomography is an application in (human) medicine known from medical institutions. The patient absorbs and re-emits electromagnetic radiation in all directions in space. They are detected ...

A new measurement of the muon lifetime - the most precise determination of any lifetime - provides a high-accuracy value for a crucial parameter determining the strength of weak nuclear force. A new ...

An international team of researchers at the US Department of Energy's Jefferson Accelerator Laboratory in Virginia has measured the weak charge of the proton for the first time. Although first ...

A new method has been developed allowing for quick and precise measurement of quantum states. At TU Wien, a new method was developed allowing for quick and precise measurement of quantum states.
