Researchers have proposed a new way of using quantum light to 'see' quantum sound. A new paper reveals the quantum-mechanical interplay between vibrations and particles of light, known as photons, in ...

Quantum effects are the surprising and often counterintuitive phenomena that occur at the nanoscale, where the laws of classical physics break down and the principles of quantum mechanics dominate.
