A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...
Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...
One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...
Researchers from the University of Vienna and the University of Duisburg-Essen showed that metallic ...
The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...
Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...
The interior of the vacuum chamber during a scattering experiment. The detector is shown in grey (top right) and the Au(111) gold surface is shown in yellow. The lines indicate the path of the ...
