Groundbreaking “Dark” Nanoparticle Experiment Set To Unveil Mysteries of the Macroscopic Quantum World
A nanoscale-sized glass bead evolving in a potential created through electrostatic or magnetic forces enters a macroscopic quantum superposition state. Credit: Helene HainzerMaking a nanoscale-sized glass bead exhibit quantum effects at macroscopic scales.The distinction between the ordinary world and the quantum realm remains ambiguous. As an object increases in size, its localization intensifies when it undergoes quantum transformation by cooling its motion to absolute zero.Researchers, led by Oriol Romero-Isart from…
