    The gravitational redshift, as originally proposed by Einstein, has light emitted from atoms deeper in a gravitational potential redshifted. The frequencies of atoms slow in proportion to the fractional decrease in stored energy when the field from surrounding mass increases. Gravitational attraction arises from a loss in mass (stored energy) when closer to other massive bodies. The decrease...

    Noise characterisation is a critical bottleneck in scaling quantum technologies. While uncorrelated errors are relatively well understood, correlated or non-Markovian noise, where memory effects persist across multiple operations remains far harder to capture. This non-Markovian noise has been detected in state-of-the-art quantum devices like those of IBM and Google. However, standard...

    Quantum simulation of molecular Hamiltonians represents one of the most promising applications of quantum computing.

    The strong interaction binds up and down quarks together to form hadrons such as protons and neutrons and heavier states containing strange or charm quarks. At low energies, hadron properties cannot be determined via analytic or perturbative approaches to quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Instead, we make use of a numerical approach to QCD known as lattice QCD (LQCD). In this work, we calculate...

    The atmospheres of Venus and Mars are primarily CO$_2$. CO$_2$ photolyses at wavelengths $\lesssim$ 200 nm to CO and O. Direct recombination via CO+O+M $\rightarrow$ CO$_2$+M is very slow so the rate of production of CO$_2$ to balance its loss via photolysis is controlled by the abundances of trace radicals that catalyse production of CO$_2$ (eg., Yung and DeMore, Icarus 51, 199, 1982).

    We claim that quantum collapse, as per the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, follows naturally from the energetics of measurement. We argue that a realistic device generates an interaction energy that drives a random walk in Hilbert space and generates the probabilistic interpretation of Born.

    The advent of Radio-Pharmaceutical Therapy (RPT) marks an impactful advancement in radiation oncology, offering the potential to treat tumours with cellular precision while minimising adverse effects. Evaluating the efficacy of this treatment relies on accurate dosimetry, which is traditionally informed by absorbed dose, but absorbed dose alone overlooks the spatial complexity of...

    Amorphous Monolayer Carbon (AMC), a disordered form of graphene first synthesised in 2020, displays high flexibility but has low mechanical strength, restricting potential application in areas such as flexible electronics.
    Existing descriptions of 2D amorphous materials generally fall between assigning materials to Zachariasen continuous random networks, as frequently ascribed to bulk...

    Band crossings in electronic band structures play an important role in determining the electronic, topological, and transport properties in solid-state systems, making them central to both condensed matter physics and materials science. The emergence of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) processors has sparked great interest in developing quantum algorithms to compute band structure...

    Raman lasers are a promising platform for narrow linewidth single-longitudinal mode lasers, and their Raman shifts provide access to wavelength ranges not easily reached with commercial lasers. Moreover, the Raman process provides intrinsic line narrowing, recently shown to greatly reduce linewidth and suppress high-frequency noise relative to the pump. Diamond, in particular, has the highest...
