Scientists levitate 300 million atoms at room temperature for pure quantum state
SMRTR summary
ETH Zurich researchers achieved quantum levitation of a nano-glass cluster containing 300 million atoms at room temperature. Using optical tweezers and laser beams, they held the spheres almost motionless while detecting quantum fluctuations with unprecedented precision. The breakthrough demonstrates quantum mechanical behavior in relatively large objects and could advance quantum sensors for navigation systems and medical imaging without requiring extreme cold temperatures.
