Physics of spinning objects observed in quantum light for the first time
Reported bySciTechDaily ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
An international team led by the Paul Scherrer Institute directly observed the optical Magnus effect for the first time, using a trapped calcium ion to measure a sideways displacement of laser light caused by its quantum properties—a phenomenon analogous to how spin curves a moving soccer ball.
