Quantum interference keeps two atoms bound despite enough energy to break apart
Source ↗ 👁 1 💬 0
How can something remain intact when it should naturally break apart? This question has been addressed by researchers at RPTU. Their work has led to the experimental observation of an unusual quantum state in which two atoms remain bound together even though they possess enough energy to separate. The results have been published in the journal Nature Physics.
