Congrats to all of the #physics Nobel Laureates! Today's prize combines atomic physics and lasers--two of our favorite things here at the Atlas.
Electrons’ movements in atoms and molecules are so rapid that they are measured in attoseconds. An attosecond is to one second as one second is to the age of the universe. #NobelPrize

The #polarization of a #photon, the #spin of an #electron or the amount of magnetic field passing through a superconducting loop are all physical systems that have been used to store #qubits, and each has its benefits and drawbacks. Learn more at: https://t.co/7NeseJPzm2

In 1935, a relatively unknown Japanese physicist, Hideki Yukawa predicted the mass of an undiscovered particle related to the strong force. Physicists confirmed the pi meson’s existence in 1947, and Yukawa received the Nobel Prize in 1949. https://t.co/eeqYf7HvP6

Quantum states work by a different set of rules than classical states. For example, classical waves can't climb over a barrier that's too tall. #quantum waves can get past hurdles by tunneling through. Check out https://t.co/1MIFtzq52A to learn more.

Without the limits imposed on physical waveguides by gravity, distance and power, Howard Milchberg's team thinks the applications of air-waveguide technology are wide open—particularly once it’s extended to the kilometer range. @UofMaryland @UMDPhysics

Howard Milchberg’s lab is working on atmospheric waveguides that could someday direct megawatt-scale beams across kilometer-scale distances.
