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

The optical properties of metallic nanoparticles with nanometre dimensions exhibit features that cannot be described by classical electrodynamics. In this quantum size regime, the near-field ...

The start of World War II threw quantum theory research into disarray. Many of the European physicists left Europe all together, and research moved across the ocean to the shores of the United States.

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, ...

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