For the first time, physicists in Stanford succeeded in real-time observation of a quantum leap in sound. A special chip captured the moment when a phonon abruptly lost energy. Success provides important building blocks for future quantum computers. (Continue reading)
For the first time physicists have observed quantum leaps of sound directly using a mechanical resonator, closing a fundamental research cycle in physics that began more than 100 years ago. The observation of quantum leaps on phonons was indeed a long-term challenge so far and the [...] This article Physicists capture for the first time the quantum leaps of sound in real time has appeared first on Trust My Science.
