New Experiment Probes Weird Zone Between Quantum and Classical

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for
Quantum Optics in Germany have created a tiny silicon cantilever arm on
a chip that, after being cooled down to 0.0001 degrees above absolute
zero, will sway back and forth in multiple modes at once, becoming the
world's first macroscopic system in a purely quantum mechanical state.

The strange boundary between the macroscopic world and the weird realm
of quantum physics is about to be probed in a unique experiment.



May be of any interest Luzi, Jose?
