Aaron O'Connell Making sense of a visible quantum object
Published on Feb 26, 2013
Physicists are used to the idea that subatomic particles behave according to the bizarre rules of quantum mechanics, completely different to human-scale objects. In a breakthrough experiment, Aaron O'Connell has blurred that distinction by creating an object that is visible to the unaided eye, but provably in two places at the same time. In this talk he suggests an intriguing way of thinking about the result.
Aaron O'Connell is the first person to experimentally induce and measure quantum effects in the motion of a human made object, bridging the quantum and classical worlds.
