Um novo estudo teórico mostra que tentar dividir um fóton com um espelho em rápido movimento cria uma superposição de infinitos fótons em vez de encurtar a partícula original.

Pesquisadores liderados por Johannes Skaar, da Universidade de Oslo, examinaram o que acontece quando um fóton encontra um espelho que se move rápido o suficiente para refletir apenas parte de sua cauda ondulatória. As equações quânticas para o campo eletromagnético revelaram que a interação produz um estado que mistura infinitos fótons devido a flutuações no vácuo quântico.

18 de março de 2026 Reportado por IA Imagem gerada por IA

Physicists at MIT have developed a new microscope using terahertz light to directly observe hidden quantum vibrations inside a superconducting material for the first time. The device compresses terahertz light to overcome its wavelength limitations, revealing frictionless electron flows in BSCCO. This breakthrough could advance understanding of superconductivity and terahertz-based communications.

Study explores quantum clocks ticking at multiple speeds

Physicists have published research proposing that a single clock could tick both faster and slower at the same time due to quantum effects. The work combines relativity and quantum mechanics in a novel way. Researchers say advances in atomic clock technology may soon allow the idea to be tested in the lab.

Scientists observe wave-like behavior in positronium for first time

28 de abril de 2026 Reportado por IA

Researchers at Tokyo University of Science have demonstrated matter-wave diffraction in positronium, an exotic atom formed by an electron and its antimatter counterpart, a positron. This marks the first observation of quantum interference in such a system. The findings, published in Nature Communications, confirm positronium's wave-particle duality.
