Quantum wave in helium dimer filmed for the first time – Science Daily
For the first time, an international team of scientists has succeeded in filming quantum physical effects on a helium dimer as it breaks apart. The film shows the…
Anyone entering the world of quantum physics must prepare themself for quite a few things unknown in the everyday world: Noble gases form compounds, atoms behave like particles and waves at the same time and events that in the macroscopic world exclude each other occur simultaneously.In the world of quantum physics, Reinhard Dörner and his team are working with molecules which — in the sense of most textbooks — ought not to exist: Helium compounds with two atoms, known as helium dimers. Helium…
