Los fotones se multiplican infinitamente al ser reflejados parcialmente por un espejo rápido

Un nuevo estudio teórico demuestra que intentar dividir un fotón con un espejo que se mueve a gran velocidad crea una superposición de infinitos fotones en lugar de acortar la partícula original.

Investigadores dirigidos por Johannes Skaar en la Universidad de Oslo examinaron qué sucede cuando un fotón encuentra un espejo que se mueve lo suficientemente rápido como para reflejar solo una parte de su cola ondulatoria. Las ecuaciones cuánticas para el campo electromagnético revelaron que la interacción produce un estado que mezcla infinitos fotones debido a las fluctuaciones en el vacío cuántico.
