Physicists tell AI what to do

Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a new way to use generative artificial intelligence (AI) that circumvents the need for machine-learning models to rediscover relationships that physicists already know how to describe.

About the event display: Candidate event display of the ZH 鈫� 渭渭cc process. The Z boson decays into two muons, shown as red tracks producing hits (green) in the endcap muon chambers. The Higgs boson decays to two charm quarks, resulting in two charm-tagged jets (blue cones) with associated energy deposits in both the electromagnetic (green) and hadronic (yellow) calorimeters.

Uncovering 鈥榮pooky鈥� quantum effect in the Large Hadron Collider

Physicists at the University of Oxford have helped confirm that one of the strangest phenomena in physics - quantum entanglement - occurs even among some of the heaviest and most fleeting particles ever created.

To build a quantum sensor, light must be prepared in a carefully controlled state where its frequency, polarisation and intensity are all well controlled. Here, the polarisation of blue light is altered before it is used to cool the atoms to absolute zero.

Oxford and the search for dark matter

Researchers from the Department of Physics contribute to major advance in the search for dark matter and gravitational waves.

The 12-metre-diameter acrylic vessel surrounded by 9,000 photomultiplier tubes at the heart of the the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory and SNO+ experiments. The vessel currently holds about 800 tonnes of liquid scintillator for neutrino detection.

New breakthrough in detecting 鈥済host particles鈥� from the Sun

Physicists at the University of Oxford have led a breakthrough study which has recorded the first observation of carbon-neutrino interactions; the findings open new frontiers in nuclear and particle physics.
