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 ...

Hidden networks finally crack a decades-old mystery about waves
For more than a century, scientists have known that waves can behave in ways that seem to defy common sense, from freak walls ...
Schematic of the MIT experiment: Two single atoms floating in a vacuum chamber are illuminated by a laser beam and act as the two slits. The interference of the scattered light is recorded with a ...
A sensitive matter-wave interferometer measuring moiré fringes offers force sensitivity comparable to quantum interference ...
Metal clusters made of thousands of atoms showed quantum interference, offering new insight into how large objects follow quantum rules.
A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2026.250149, discusses a quarter-wave geometric-phase route ...
