Researchers observe first real-time quantum jump in sound

In an experiment, Stanford physicists demonstrated that tiny units of sound can suddenly change energy states, making a quantum jump. This is a long-anticipated breakthrough with the potential to advance a range of technologies.

The sound never dies smoothly. Contrary to what our ears perceive, on the scale of the infinitely small, it does not turn off: it disappears, at once. And for the first time, scientists have seen it do.

Scientists at Stanford have observed quantum jumps of sound in a resonator for the first time. The result will help develop quantum computing and sensors

Stanford University researchers have recorded quantum leaps in sound (phonons) in real time for the first time, opening new avenues for quantum computers.

A vibrating resonator does not lose its energy in the quantum range continuously, but in individual portions. Researchers have now tracked for the first time in real time, such as a phonon, a quant mechanical vibration, from the first excited state to the basic state. This was made possible by a particularly long-lasting nanomechanical resonator and repeated measurements with a superconducting qubit. Stanford (U.S.A.). An impacted tuning fork be…
