Phys.org  May 6, 2021 Quantum mechanics sets a limit for the precision of continuous measurement of the position of an oscillator. An international team of researchers (Finland, Australia) has developed a theoretical model to show that there is a way to get around the uncertainty principle. In their experiment they used two vibrating drumheads vibrating in opposite phase to each other cancelling the quantum uncertainty of the drums’ motion if the two drums are treated as one quantum-mechanical entity. Thus the researchers were able to simultaneously measure the position and the momentum of the two drumheads – which should not […]
