Physicists Observe Quantum Behavior in Liquid Vibrations
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: quantum physics
For the first time, Yale physicists have directly observed quantum behavior in the vibrations of a liquid body.
A great deal of ongoing research is currently devoted to discovering and exploiting quantum effects in the motion of macroscopic objects made of solids and gases. This new experiment opens a potentially rich area of further study into the way quantum principles work on liquid bodies.
The findings come from the Yale lab of physics and applied physics professor Jack Harris, along with colleagues at the Kastler Brossel Laboratory in France. A study about the research appears in the journal Physical Review Letters.
