Indian and UK scientists test quantum theory on larger objects using a silica nanocrystal pendulum.

A team of Indian scientists from Bose Institute, collaborating with researchers from the UK, is conducting an experiment to test the validity of quantum theory for larger mass objects beyond atoms and molecules. Led by Prof. Dipankar Home, the study involves using lasers to suspend a nanocrystal of silica as a quantum pendulum. The findings may advance high-precision quantum sensors, crucial for emerging quantum technologies, and enhance understanding of macroscopic quantum behavior.
