Congrats to all of the #physics Nobel Laureates! Today's prize combines atomic physics and lasers--two of our favorite things here at the Atlas.
Electrons’ movements in atoms and molecules are so rapid that they are measured in attoseconds. An attosecond is to one second as one second is to the age of the universe.
#NobelPrize
The #polarization of a #photon, the #spin of an #electron or the amount of magnetic field passing through a superconducting loop are all physical systems that have been used to store #qubits, and each has its benefits and drawbacks. Learn more at: go.umd.edu/3JwdL5m

In 1935, a relatively unknown Japanese physicist, Hideki Yukawa predicted the mass of an undiscovered particle related to the strong force. Physicists confirmed the pi meson’s existence in 1947, and Yukawa received the Nobel Prize in 1949. quantamagazine.org/colliders…

Yes, there are scientific reasons to believe in a multiverse. Go beyond the late-night college dorm speculations to an informed discussion on the newest episode of The Joy of Why. Listen and subscribe to the podcast: listen.quantamagazine.org/jo…

ICYMI: Can AI replace neutrino physicists?
Dr. Kirsty Duffy and Postdoctoral Researcher and AI expert, V Hewes, discuss how scientists are using machine learning technology in neutrino research. ⤵️

Quantum states work by a different set of rules than classical states. For example, classical waves can't climb over a barrier that's too tall. #quantum waves can get past hurdles by tunneling through. Check out bit.ly/42ZNpRB to learn more.

Without the limits imposed on physical waveguides by gravity, distance and power, Howard Milchberg's team thinks the applications of air-waveguide technology are wide open—particularly once it’s extended to the kilometer range. @UofMaryland @UMDPhysics ow.ly/WCR150O0eqx

Weaving superconductivity
Today’s #PhotoOfTheWeek pictures a Rutherford cabling machine. In 2019, it was used for the assembly of the high-performance superconducting cables to be used in the High-Luminosity LHC.
The development at CERN of magnesium diboride cables and other advanced superconducting systems for the #HiLumiLHC is driving applications beyond fundamental research.
#DidYouKnow that the #LHC is the biggest application of superconductivity in the world?

What happens when the Force (of gravity) is NOT with you, always? Here at @NASA, it's our job to find out. Low gravity can have a big impact on muscles, bones and joints. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3wjMWsG

The quantum world may take some getting used to, but researchers at JQI and around the globe are constantly revealing new ways that quantum mechanics can explain the world around us and be put to practical uses. #WorldQuantumDay @UMDPhysics @UMDscience @NIST @WorldQuantumDay
Things in the quantum world get … weird. @JQInews knows all about that, right? #WorldQuantumDay
