This Week in Physics - Toward Flawless Atom Optics

This Week in Physics Magazine — October 24, 2022 Viewpoint Toward Flawless Atom Optics Carlos L. Garrido Alzar – October 24, 2022 The engineering of so-called Floquet states leads to almost-perfect atom-optics elements for matter-wave interferometers—which could boost these devices' ability to probe new physics. Focus Frequency Comb Measures Quantum Interference October 21, 2022 A multiwavelength laser source known as a frequency comb provides a new technique for atom interferometry, potentially leading to new tests of fundamental physics. Research News New CERN Facility Allows Study of Radiation Damage to Materials October 20, 2022 CERN's "irradiation station" will investigate the effect of radiation on commercial materials, such as lubricants and gaskets, that are used regularly in accelerator beamlines and other radiation environments. synopsis Microscopic Reversibility Goes Quantum October 20, 2022 A fundamental principle in statistical mechanics called microscopic reversibility has been extended to the quantum world. synopsis Impurities Enable High-Quality Resistive Switching Devices October 19, 2022 Adding dopants to resistive random-access memories could enable the controllable operation of these devices in neuromorphic computing hardware synopsis How Soap Molecules Move Over Water October 18, 2022 Researchers can now predict exactly how soap molecules spread across a body of water, an everyday but surprisingly complex process. 1 Physics Ellipse, College Park, MD 20740 © 2022 American Physical Society | All rights reserved View Email Online You are receiving this message because you signed up to receive Physics Magazine email alerts or are a member of APS.
