It looks that, knowing the consequences of quantum mechanics and thinking of electrons instead of hands, the monk would never encounter the paradox, No paradox, no enlightement. Thanks to the work of the team of my coworkers and my collaborators at Italian CNR, we have observed the quantum of sound produced by a single electron, when moving across the quantum state made available by a single atom encapsulated in the channel of a silicon…</p><p>1 point; 0 discussion replies on HN. <a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2007.06462/">Paper and source history</a>.
