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.
This paper reports the observation and characterization of three narrow, semi-forbidden electric quadrupole transitions in excited ions, providing detailed measurements of their frequencies, hyperfine structures, and lifetimes to complement existing quantum information and fundamental physics research.
The researchers demonstrate the first experimental realization of a bound state in the continuum (BIC) in ultracold Li atoms by using Floquet engineering to induce destructive interference between two Feshbach resonances, effectively decoupling a molecular state from the scattering continuum.
The researchers developed long-lived trapped-ion memories and an efficient telecom interface to overcome decoherence bottlenecks, enabling stable entanglement distribution over 10 km and demonstrating metropolitan-scale device-independent quantum key distribution.
