Using a laser to place individual rubidium atoms near the surface of a lattice of light, scientists have developed a new method for connecting particles -- one that could help in the development of ...

Topological quantum systems are physical systems exhibiting properties that depend on the overall connectivity of their underlying lattice, as opposed to local interactions and their microscopic ...

Researchers in Australia have created a single-atom transistor by planting an individual phosphorus dopant atom within a silicon sample with a spatial accuracy of plus or minus one lattice spacing.
