The 50-foot-wide racetrack used to study muons traveled by barge around Florida and up the Mississippi, and then by truck across Illinois. Reidar Hahn, Fermilab About 50 years ago, physicists came up ...

Scientists have used high-performance computing at large scales to analyze a quantum photonics experiment. In specific terms, this involved the tomographic reconstruction of experimental data from a ...

Researchers have combined theory and experiments to show that nuclear polarization does not limit studies of muonic atoms, clearing the way for new nuclear physics experiments. University of ...

In this 2018 photo made available by CERN, Nikolai Bondar. works on the LHCb Muon system at the Large Hadron Collider facility outside of Geneva. (Maximilien Brice, Julien Marius Ordan/CERN via AP) ...

The muon’s mysteries continue to leave physicists spellbound. Last year, an experiment suggested that the elementary particle had inexplicably strong magnetism, possibly breaking a decades-long streak ...

No one can control the weather, but certain clouds can be deliberately triggered to release rain or snow. The process, known ...

Physicists have performed the first full simulation of a high-energy physics experiment — the creation of pairs of particles and their antiparticles — on a quantum computer 1. If the team can scale it ...

A tiny wobbling particle may be about to reveal a fifth force of nature, scientists behind one of the biggest particle physics experiments say. Physicists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, ...

It's a well-known fact that quantum calculations are difficult, but one would think that quantum computers would facilitate the process. In most cases, this is true.
