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 ...
