Physicists arrange atoms in close proximity, paving way for exploring exotic states of matter

Posted by in categories: particle physics, quantum physics

MIT physicists have developed a technique that allows them to arrange atoms in much closer proximity, down to a mere 50 nanometers.


Proximity is key for many quantum phenomena, as interactions between atoms are stronger when the particles are close. In many quantum simulators, scientists arrange atoms as close together as possible to explore exotic states of matter and build new quantum materials.
