Highly charged ions: Multiply-ionized atoms for clocks, qubits, and constants

The world is mostly neutral. That is, most of the atoms in our environment are electrically neutral. The number of electrons in the outer parts of atoms equals the number of protons at the centers of atoms. As one or more ...

Particle, meet wave: Optical qubit technique squeezes photons to bridge discrete and continuous quantum regimes

(Phys.org) —While quantum states are typically referred to as particles or waves, this is not actually the case. Rather, quantum states have complementary discrete particlelike and continuous wavelike properties that emerge ...
