ScienceStanford team reportedly makes first real-time observation of quantum jumps in sound
Phys.org reports that a resonator vibrating for 2 milliseconds let researchers pinpoint a shift from one phonon—a quantum of sound—to zero.
TLDR
Phys.org reports that a Stanford team made the first direct observation of quantum jumps in sound in a mechanical resonator. Its vibrations lasted 2 milliseconds, long enough to pinpoint the transition from one phonon, or quantum of sound, to zero in real time.
