Physicists Achieve Controlled Quantum Wavepacket Expansion in Levitated Nanoparticle

Physicists at ETH Zurich and the Barcelona Institute of Photonic Sciences have developed a method to control and expand the quantum wavepacket of levitated nanoparticles, potentially paving the way for matter-wave interference experiments with larger objects by using a technique called quantum squeezing to increase coherence length.

"Groundbreaking Visualization of Quantum Entanglement Achieved"

Researchers from the University of Ottawa and the Sapienza University of Rome have developed a technique using digital holography to visualize the wavefunction of an entangled pair of photons, demonstrating the reality of quantum entanglement. The technique involves superimposing the wave of the entangled photons with a reference wave and analyzing the distribution of coincidences. The resulting image resembles a Yin and Yang symbol and has implications for quantum technologies such as quantum computers. The technique also has the potential to inspire new imaging techniques beyond the limits of classical optics.
