Groundbreaking Progress in Quantum Physics: How Quantum Field Theories Decay and Fission

June 5, 2024
An international research team around Marcus Sperling, a START award project leader at the Faculty of Physics, University of Vienna, has sparked interest in the scientific community with pioneering results in quantum physics: In their current study, the researchers reinterpret the Higgs mechanism, which gives elementary particles mass and triggers phase transitions, using the concept of "magnetic quivers."

German Scientists Have Demonstrated, for the First Time, the Detection of Magnetic Fields Using a Two-Dimensional Array of Ultracold Atoms

Recently, a team at the Technical University Darmstadt in Germany has demonstrated for the first time a magnetometer based on a two-dimensional array of ultracold atoms with superior spatial resolution compared to classical devices. In this study, scientists trapped rubidium atoms in a square array with a width of 0.2 millimeters. They found that when this system is exposed to a magnetic field, it can detect spatial variations in the magnetic field, as each atom of the array acts as a separate sensor.
