MIT

Using microscopy with single-atom resolution, researchers observed ultracold quantum gases made of two different types of atoms. The bosons (shown on the left) tend to cluster together — a behavior known as bunching — while the fermions (on the right) tend to avoid each other, showing anti-bunching.

Researchers have demonstrated exceptionally strong nonlinear coupling between light and matter in a quantum circuit. This enhanced coupling allows for faster qubit operations and readouts—key processes in quantum computing, where qubits serve as the basic units of information. Credit: Christine Daniloff, MIT

An artist's illustration of a neutron star emitting a radio beam from within its magnetic environment. As the radio waves travel through dense plasma within the galaxy, they split into multiple paths, causing the observed signal to flicker in brightness.
