A photon enters an extraordinarily intense laser field. When it exits, its polarization has rotated, as though empty space ...

Physicists are using quantum computers to simulate high-intensity electromagnetic interactions to test the limits of light ...

Quantum electrodynamics (QED) stands as one of the most rigorously tested theories in modern physics, offering a comprehensive framework to describe the interactions between charged particles and the ...

Quantum electrodynamics (QED) provides the fundamental framework for understanding the intricate interactions between light and matter. In the realm of heavy ions—atoms stripped of most of their ...

Visualisation of the QED interactions in boron-like tin ions. Highly charged heavy ions form a very suitable experimental field for investigating quantum electrodynamics (QED), the best-tested theory ...

There has been considerable debate among physicists over the last 15 years about conflicting measurements of the charge ...

Theoretical physicists along with an experimental team have found evidence of a quantum spin liquid in a material known as pyrochlore cerium stannate. They achieved this by combining state-of-the-art ...
