Purdue Physics&Astro

Purdue researchers have developed a new way to reliably estimate quantum entanglement from limited, noisy experimental data. Led by Assistant Professor Laimei Nie, the work could help scientists better characterize quantum devices. 🔗

Why is the universe almost entirely matter? A new Nature study from CERN’s ALPHA Collaboration measured antihydrogen with 100x greater precision than before. Purdue physicist Francis Robicheaux contributed simulations that helped the researchers. 👀

Concealed in the molecular machinery of flowers are processes that biotechnologists can engineer to improve crops & plant health. Purdue scientists, including Jing Liu of @PurduePhysAstro, have launched a project to bring these advances closer to fruition.
