Condensed-matter physics: Coupled vibrations
Pertti J. Hakonen1 & Mika A. Sillanpää1
Abstract
Demonstrating that macroscopic objects can display quantum behaviour, which is usually associated with the microscopic world of atoms, is a long-standing goal in physics. That goal is now within closer reach.
In this issue, LaHaye and colleagues1 take an important step towards the observation of quantum phenomena in nearly macroscopic moving objects. On page 960, they report experimental evidence of an intriguing interplay between a superconducting artificial atom2 and a micrometre-size mechanical resonator.
- Pertti J. Hakonen and Mika A. Sillanpää are at the Low Temperature Laboratory, Helsinki University of Technology, Helsinki FI-02015 TKK, Finland.
