The breakthrough experiments revealed that the quantum vortex is created by orbital angular momentum—electrons' circular motion around atomic nuclei. "When we first saw signs that the predicted ...

Among all the degrees of freedom of photons, orbital angular momentum (OAM) has potential applications in enhancing the communication capacity of quantum communication and precision of quantum ...

One of the knottier questions has been where the proton gets its intrinsic angular momentum, otherwise referred to as its spin. Nuclear physicists surmise that the proton's spin most likely comes ...

Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) held an opening ceremony for the 'Quantum Angular Momentum Dynamics Research Center' on the 18th. The ceremony was attended by about 100 ...

A breakthrough that’s turning heads in the scientific community: A young research team from Würzburg has experimentally demonstrated a quantum tornado for the first time by refining an established ...

The magnetic response of a materials is largely determined by the magnetic dipole moment associated with the intrinsic angular momentum, or spin, of its electrons. A material’s response to an ...

Scientists experimentally confirm electron vortices in momentum space, a quantum phenomenon that could enable efficient, ...
