Making sense of a visible quantum object: Aaron O’Connell on TED
Physicists are used to the idea that subatomic particles behave according to the bizarre rules of quantum mechanics, completely different to human-scale objects. In a breakthrough experiment, Aaron O’Connell has blurred that distinction by creating an object that is visible to the unaided eye, but provably in two places at the same time. In this talk he suggests an intriguing way of thinking about the result. (Recorded at TED2011, March 2011, in Long Beach, CA. Duration: 7:51)

How did he was able to isolate the particles completely and yet measure their movement?!
The particle/wave duality is not new we know that since 1924 so what’s new?
This guy is a hack.

It is really nice experience of me by knowing about quantum objects.
Thanks to O’CONNEL for his nice presentation.
I really enjoyed this video learn some important things.
