Trapping chains of up to 35 strontium atoms with optical tweezers, the team applied a new technique called many-body modulation spectroscopy to map energy levels that matched four-decade-old theoretical predictions. The work, published in Nature, confirms fundamental physics theory experimentally and sets the stage for extending the method to two-dimensional quantum systems where theoretical predictions remain incomplete and classical computers may fail. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
