Quantum Squeezing Applied to Nanoparticle for the First Time
Physicists at the University of Tokyo, Japan have successfully performed quantum mechanical squeezing on a nanoparticle.
This feat was achieved by levitating the particle and rapidly varying its oscillation frequency, shedding light on the classical-quantum transition for small objects.
Such research could lead to improvements in quantum sensors, as oscillating objects smaller than a few microns in diameter have applications in areas like optical clocks and superconducting devices.
These small objects are affected by Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, limiting precise measurements of position and momentum.
Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle places a limit on how precisely we can simultaneously measure the position and momentum of a quantum object.
