Scientists have long used Gaussian beams to study how light interacts with matter. These beams resemble plane waves and rely ...

In this study, we propose a novel thought experiment that relies on conservation of linear momentum and quantum entanglement [8] to reveal the which-path information of the incident photons without ...

In this game of "quantum billiard balls," the photon was like the cue ball ... the interaction between an electron's spin and angular momentum," D'Incao says. "In addition, we built a collisional ...

which reduce entropy by limiting the available microstates in the electronic spin distribution. In the microcanonical ensemble, the relevant system can be considered the angular momentum distribution, ...

Experiments coupling light and sound reveal the surprising effect that measuring nothing can cool the vibrations of an object. We use measurements to understand the world around us. With our eyes ...

In this game of “quantum billiard balls,” the photon is like the cue ball that smashes into two other balls (the ... that had only taken into account the atomic fine structure—the interaction between ...
