Scientists catch antimatter “atom” acting like a wave for the first time

Scientists Observe Wave Interference in Positronium for the First Time

Researchers in Japan have reported the first direct observation of matter-wave diffraction in positronium, the short-lived electron-positron system that has long been a target for quantum experiments.

Key Takeaways

Researchers reported the first direct observation of wave interference in positronium.
Positronium consists of an electron and a positron bound together.

MIT Team Says Classical Physics Can Reproduce Key Quantum Results

MIT researchers report that a classical formulation based on the principle of least action can reproduce standard quantum results in scenarios such as tunneling and the double-slit experiment.

Key Takeaways

MIT researchers say a classical least-action formulation can reproduce standard quantum results in several textbook cases.
The method matched Schrödinger-equation solutions for scenarios including the double-slit experiment and quantum tunneling.
