Researchers at the University of Rochester have, for the first time ever, confirmed the existence of a “nuclear-spin dark state,” a theoretical concept that could improve the stability of ...

Although scientists have long suspected that the nuclear-spin dark state could exist, they haven't been able to provide direct evidence of it—until now. "By directly confirming the existence of ...

Simulations of quantum many-body systems are an important goal for nuclear and high-energy physics. Many-body problems ...

Physicists at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) are the first to succeed in creating and manipulating quantum superpositions of a single, large nuclear spin. The superposition involves spin ...

Researchers have used quantum sensors to extend magnetic resonance imaging to the realm of microscopic detail.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR ... This magnetic field makes the possible spin-states of the nucleus differ in energy, and using NMR techniques the spins can be made to create observable transitions ...

Quantum dots are crystals of a fluorescent semiconductor material with a diameter of as few as 10 to 100 atoms (2-10 nm). They are used as labels for imaging molecules because of their very narrow ...

Neutrons also have a nuclear spin, making them very sensitive to the location and orientation of magnetic moments in materials and the probe of choice for many studies of magnetism. The mass of the ...
