New Way To Measure Electron Pair Interactions
2/11/2014
Shoot a beam of light or particles at certain special materials and you will liberate electrons -- pairs of them -- a phenomenon known as "electron pair emission, " which can reveal fundamental properties of the solid and reveal information necessary to design novel materials for future applications.

Characterizing The ‘Arrow Of Time’ In Open Quantum Systems
7/9/2019
Even in the strange world of open quantum systems, the arrow of time points steadily forward — most of the time. New experiments conducted at Washington University in St. Louis compare the forward and reverse trajectories of superconducting circuits called qubits, and find that they follow the second law of thermodynamics. The research is published July 9 in the journal Physical Review Letters.
