Physicists’ breakthrough method creates most intense light ever generated in lab
An international team has demonstrated a new method for producing the most intense light ...
The concept of the vacuum, initially thought to be empty, is actually steeped in complex physics. From Aristotle's horror vacui to quantum field fluctuations, this piece explores the transition from ...

Quantum simulations model photon polarization flips, but hardware lags
A team of physicists has designed quantum algorithms that can model one of the most elusive behaviors in nature: a photon flipping its polarization inside an extreme electromagnetic field. The work, ...

Quantum simulation models polarization flips, but hardware lags
A photon enters an extraordinarily intense laser field. When it exits, its polarization has rotated, as though empty space ...
