The atomic switch operates by forming and breaking a tiny silver filament inside a thin film of tantalum oxide. When a positive voltage is applied, silver atoms move to create a conductive bridge ...

Atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) physics explores the quantum behaviour of electrons, atoms and light, and their mutual interactions across energy, length and time scales. In atoms and molecules, ...

Atomic, molecular and optical physics lies at the intersection of quantum mechanics and electromagnetic theory, providing the fundamental framework for our understanding of matter and light.
