By analysing high-resolution data from a 10-metre telescope in Hawaii, researchers in Lund, Sweden, have managed to gain new insights into three stars in the centre of the Milky Way. The stars turned out to be unusually young with a puzzling chemical composition that surprises the researchers. In the study, which is published in the scientific journal The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the Lund re

Down in the basement of the Department of Physics, the now world-famous short laser pulses are fired almost daily. This is home to Sweden’s cutting-edge research in attosecond physics. According to Per Eng-Johnsson, professor in atomic, molecular and optical physics, the research field is currently in the midst of a paradigm shift. The term “DIY” may appear to be an unlikely description of a high-

By utilising quantum mechanics, a quantum computer can solve computational problems that today's supercomputers cannot. But there are problems. As the circuits in quantum computers get bigger, they become more difficult to control. Now researchers have demonstrated a new way to construct quantum circuits for individual light particles. This could enable larger and more complex circuits - crucial t

Entanglement, once dismissed by Einstein as an impossible phenomenon but later shown to be possible by Nobel Prize-winning physicists, continues to raise questions. How can we know that a particle has been controlled? How can we know that the measurements of entanglement we think we are detecting are not in fact misleading due to inadequate detectors? In a new scientific paper, Armin Tavakoli demo

Astronomers can use supercomputers to simulate the formation of galaxies from the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago to the present day. But there are a number of sources of error. An international research team, led by Lund University and Seoul National University, has spent hundreds of millions of computer hours over eight years trying to correct these. The last decade has seen major advances in co
