Principal Quantum Number Principal quantum numbers are denoted by the symbol (n). They are the principal electron shell of an atom. The Principal Quantum Number describes the electron’s shell like its ...

Controlling the quantum state of electrons is crucial for quantum information processing, including new types of superpowerful computers and unbreakable cryptography. Scientists have known for a while ...

Electrons are proficient little magicians. They seem to flit about an atom without tracing a particular path, they frequently appear to be in two places at once, and their behavior in silicon ...

"God does not play dice." This famous remark by Albert Einstein critiqued the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. Paradoxically, his theory of relativity has become an essential tool for ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — By using photons and electron spin qubits to control nuclear spins in a two-dimensional material, researchers at Purdue University have opened a new frontier in quantum science ...

An international research team has succeeded for the first time in measuring the electron spin in matter - i.e., the curvature of space in which electrons live and move - within "kagome materials", a ...

The fact is that all electrons are the same as each other and the object is what changes. We explain why you’re not falling through your chair right now using one simple fact, and one object. The fact ...

As published Monday (Aug. 15) in Nature Materials, the research team used electron spin qubits as atomic-scale sensors, and also to effect the first experimental control of nuclear spin qubits in ...
