Physicists observed the optical Magnus effect in a trapped ion, revealing tiny laser shifts that could affect quantum computer qubits. Physicists have directly observed the optical Magnus effect for the first time by mapping how a tightly focused laser interacts with a single trapped calcium ion. The strongest atom-light interaction shifted sideways by several hundred nanometers ins... [9594 chars]
