A quantum computing breakthrough by researchers at IBM and Daimler AG, the parent company of Mercedes-Benz, uses a quantum computer to model the dipole moment of three lithium-containing molecules, ...

I love all aspects of quantum physics, but the quantum mechanics of ultra-cold atoms and molecules has a special place in my heart. Cooling and controlling molecules is really, really hard work, but ...

A proposed pathway to construct quantum computers may be the outcome of research by a physics team that has created a new molecule based on the interaction between a highly-excited type of atom known ...

Physicists have now shown the first experimental proof of a molecule consisting of two identical atoms that exhibits a permanent electric dipole moment. This observation contradicts the classical ...

Physicists are closer to finding out if the electron is a point charge or whether it has an internal distribution of charge known as an electric dipole moment. For the first time, Ed Hinds and ...
