Theoretical study: Cooling particles with laser light fields

Using lasers to slow down atoms is a technique that has been used for a long time already: If one wants to achieve low-temperature world records in the range of absolute temperature zero, one resorts to laser cooling, in ...

Rising silicon-rich snow in the Earth's outer core

Deep below the Earth's surface lies the outer core, which is made up 2000-km thick liquid iron alloy layer. Despite being located 3000-km deep from the surface, it still affects our surface habitability as it is the region ...

Twisting up atoms through space and time

One of the most exciting applications of quantum computers will be to direct their gaze inwards, at the very quantum rules that make them tick. Quantum computers can be used to simulate quantum physics itself, and perhaps ...
