Don’t react, interact: Looking into inert molecular gases

Don’t react, interact: Looking into inert molecular gases

Oct. 11, 2021

In a paper published in Nature Physics, JILA researchers illustrated new quantum mechanical tricks in making a three-dimensional molecular gas unreactive, thus enjoying a long life (for a gas), while at the same time letting the molecules in the gas interact and socialize (thermalize) with each other.

New quantum 'stopwatch' can improve imaging technologies

New quantum 'stopwatch' can improve imaging technologies

Aug. 24, 2021

Using an ultrafast optics tool called a “time lens,” Professor Baowen Li and his colleagues have demonstrated that they can measure the arrival of photons with a precision that’s more than 100 times better than existing tools. The team’s invention could lead to big improvements in a range of imaging technologies.
