By interacting, they form a new, crystalline structure ... optical and one microwave clock systems of PTB participated in the comparisons: a single-ion ytterbium clock, a strontium lattice ...

According to the Kyoto-based company, its compact optical lattice timepiece ... wavelength,” the clock confines atoms within a lattice structure like eggs in a carton. The purpose is to suppress ...

Achieving superior optical anisotropy requires identifying functional groups with strong polarizability anisotropy and optimizing their arrangement in the crystal lattice. To address this ...

By tightly confining ytterbium in the ideal potential of a magic-wavelength optical lattice, the lattice clock pushes the frontiers of atomic timekeeping. We explore enhanced quantum control, ...

Superconductivity is a quantum property of materials entailing an electrical resistance of zero at very low temperatures. In some materials, multiple electronic bands are known to contribute to the ...

What are Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) Centers? Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers are atomic-scale defects in the lattice structure of diamond. They consist of a substitutional nitrogen atom adjacent to a vacant ...
