»Vi fysikere har ikke den dér barriere med, at noget måske kan lade sig gøre, men at vi bare ikke er kloge nok.« Charlie Marcus har forladt sit forskningscenter på Harvard University for at skabe et nyt center

Jesper Nygård has been appointed professor of experimental nanophysics at the Nano-Science Center at the Niels Bohr Institute and he is co-founder of the new research center, Center for Quantum Devices  .

The Niels Bohr Institute has received two large research grants totalling 35 million kroner from ERC. The two recipients are Eugene Polzik, professor and head of Quantop and Jan Ambjørn, professor with...

Researchers at NBI have measured the lifetime of a stable energy level of magnesium atoms. The new measurements show a lifetime of up to approx. ½ hour. This is the longest ever measured in a laboratory.

The key component in quantum communication over long distances is entanglement between two atomic systems. Entanglement is very fragile and up until now researchers have only been able to maintain the...
