There’s a new record for the largest object placed in quantum interference – but it’s still teeny tiny
Researchers from the University of Vienna have reported quantum interference in metallic nanoparticles. These little spheres were made of between 5,000 and 10,000 sodium atoms and measured about 8 ...
Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...
A sensitive matter-wave interferometer measuring moiré fringes offers force sensitivity comparable to quantum interference ...
A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...
The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...

Physicists demonstrate controlled expansion of quantum wavepacket in a levitated nanoparticle
Quantum mechanics theory predicts that, in addition to exhibiting particle-like behavior, particles of all sizes can also have wave-like properties. These properties can be represented using the wave ...
