New Method to Detect Quantum Mechanical Effects in Ordinary Objects —Scientists have successfully measured entanglement and superposition in photons and in small collections of just a few atoms. But physicists have long wondered if larger collections of atoms—those that form objects with sizes closer to what we are familiar with in our day-to-day life—also exhibit quantum effects. Matt LaHaye, postdoctoral research scientist, Keith Schwab, associate professor of applied physics, Michael L. Roukes, professor of physics, applied physics, and bioengineering, and their colleagues have developed a new tool that can detect quantum mechanical behavior in such ordinary objects.
