The subatomic world is a realm where matter behaves in ways that defy our everyday intuition, and this category explores the fundamental building blocks of our universe. From the intricate dance of quarks inside a proton to the strange properties of electrons, these studies reveal the deep rules that govern everything from the smallest particles to the largest stars.
At Gist.Science, we track every new preprint in this field as it appears on arXiv, ensuring you stay ahead of the curve. For each discovery, we provide both a clear, plain-language explanation of the core ideas and a detailed technical summary for those who want to dive deeper into the mathematics and methodology.
Below are the latest papers in Atom-Ph, offering fresh insights into the structure and behavior of the atomic scale.
Using ultracold atoms in an optical lattice, the authors experimentally demonstrate pseudo-fermionization and chiral binding in one-dimensional anyons by preparing ground states of the anyon-Hubbard model through Hamiltonian engineering and adiabatic manipulation, thereby bridging theoretical predictions with observable signatures in both equilibrium and non-equilibrium settings.
This study systematically investigates how driving detuning affects photon indistinguishability from an InAs quantum dot, revealing that while small detunings align with a pure-state spontaneous emission model, larger detunings produce anomalous two-photon interference features characterized by a normalized second-order correlation function below 0.5 under orthogonal polarizations.
This paper demonstrates that a distinct sideband gain peak, typically obscured by Doppler broadening in thermal vapors, can be sustained in warm alkali atom systems when the pump Rabi frequency and detuning exceed the Doppler width, thereby enabling degenerate mirrorless lasing for enhanced remote magnetic sensing.
This paper presents high-precision relativistic coupled-cluster calculations of the static and dynamic polarizabilities for the ground and (010) vibrational states of BaOH, establishing a rigorous uncertainty quantification procedure and validating the results through comparison with experimental dipole moment data.
This paper experimentally demonstrates high-fidelity coherent control of single-atom qubits and qudits by achieving four- and six-photon stimulated Raman transitions with magnetic quantum number changes of and $5$, while providing a theoretical framework and pathways to reach fidelities exceeding 99.99%.
This paper calculates parity-violation-induced E1 amplitudes for specific transitions in H- and Li-like calcium and lead ions, concluding that while neutron-skin corrections can be neglected for calcium isotope comparisons in searches for new boson physics, both neutron-skin effects and sensitivity to such interactions are significant for Pb.
This paper experimentally demonstrates the collective light shifts of over 100 longitudinal cavity modes induced by coupling to a cold-atom ensemble, revealing new physics beyond single-mode interactions and establishing a foundation for multifrequency cavity quantum electrodynamics.
This paper develops a self-consistent theoretical framework describing Rydberg electrons orbiting polarizable liquid cores, such as superfluid helium droplets, which breaks angular momentum degeneracy and offers a method to probe droplet properties like crystallization through stimulated electron transitions.
This paper presents the theoretical development of a multiresonator quantum memory using atomic ensembles, analyzing its physical properties and optimal implementation conditions while highlighting its advantages for integrated optical schemes.
This paper presents all-orders calculations incorporating the Breit interaction for moderately charged Cs and Fr ions, revealing that while these corrections significantly improve fine-structure intervals and are substantial for f states, they do not fully resolve existing discrepancies with experimental energy levels.
