Charge it: Neutral atoms made to act like electrically charged particles
Reported in the journal Nature Physics,** these synthetic electric fields make each atom in a gas act, individually, as if it were a charged particle, but…
The first non-trivial atom circuit: Progress toward an atom SQUID
The circuit is “nontrivial” because it includes a circuit element—an adjustable barrier that controls the flow of atom current to specific allowed values. The…
