The atom without properties
Basel, Switzerland (SPX) Apr 26, 2016
The microscopic world is governed by the rules of quantum mechanics, where the properties of a particle can be completely undetermined and yet strongly correlated with those of other particles. Physicists from the University of Basel have observed these so-called Bell correlations for the first time between hundreds of atoms. Their findings are published in the scientific journal Science. Everyday objects possess properties independently of each other and regardless of whether we observe them or n ... read more
