Stanford researchers have directly observed quantum jumps of sound in a mechanical resonator for the first time, marking the latest milestone in a line of quantum physics research that stretches back ...

A Stanford team has documented the first direct observation of quantum jumps of sound in a mechanical resonator, completing an arc of scientific exploration that started more than 100 years ago.

The result extends an experimental history stretching back more than a century. Quantum jumps were theorized in the early ...

Stanford scientists captured a quantum jump in sound in real time, a step toward better quantum error detection, sensing, and phononic systems.
