Fysiker har publicerat forskning som föreslår att en enskild klocka skulle kunna gå både snabbare och långsammare samtidigt på grund av kvanteffekter. Arbetet kombinerar relativitetsteori och kvantmekanik på ett nytt sätt. Forskare menar att framsteg inom atomursteknik snart kan göra det möjligt att testa idén i laboratoriemiljö.

En artikel publicerad den 20 april 2026 i Physical Review Letters beskriver möjligheten att klockor kan existera i en kvantsuperposition. Biträdande professor Igor Pikovski vid Stevens Institute of Technology ledde studien tillsammans med samarbetspartners från Colorado State University och National Institute of Standards and Technology. Forskningen bygger vidare på tidigare idéer från drygt ett decennium sedan, som tidigare var för subtila för att kunna observeras.

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.

Physicists uncover tiny flaw in time from quantum collapse models

An international team of physicists has found that quantum collapse models, potentially linked to gravity, introduce a minuscule uncertainty in time itself. This sets a fundamental limit on clock precision, though far below current detection levels. The research, published in Physical Review Research, explores ties between quantum mechanics and gravity.
