Adapting a detector developed for space X-ray observation, researchers have successfully verify strong-field quantum electrodynamics with exotic atoms. An international collaboration of researchers, ...

To put one of physicists’ most important theories to the test, scientists go to extremes. Extremely strong electromagnetic fields, that is. The theory of quantum electrodynamics, which describes ...

The University of Maryland graduate was honored for research exploring electron behavior in intense laser fields.

The fundamental laws of physics are based on symmetries that, among other things, determine the interactions between charged particles. Using ultracold atoms, researchers have experimentally ...

Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) examines the fusion of quantum mechanics and electromagnetism, moving beyond classical theories to discrete quantities. Key historical milestones include: - The Dirac ...
