Quantum mechanics, developed a century ago, has long challenged conventional views of nature. At its core lies the principle of wave-particle duality, which shows that quantum objects can behave like ...

Such models were incomplete, however, because they can describe situations in which an object's wave-like and particle-like behaviors increase simultaneously—the opposite of the actual exclusive ...

Understanding the nature of quantum objects' behaviors is the premise for a reasonable description of the quantum world. Depending on whether the interference can be produced or not, the quantum ...

Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre world in which an object can act like both waves and particles, and behave ...

From the macroscopic to the microscopic world, quantum mechanical effects in acoustics and elastic waves have become increasingly important. Observations on the quantum effects of acoustic and elastic ...

This research delves into the dynamic behavior of acoustic levitation of the particle chain in a nonlinear standing wave field. Experimental acoustic levitation control tests reveal bifurcation and ...
