Physicists Use Sound Waves to Keep Quantum Information from Slipping Away

Aug 26, 2026 by News Staff

A team of physicists at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences has found that a steady stream of sound waves can shield...

The Unruh effect predicts a thermal response for an accelerated detector moving through the vacuum. Gooding et al. propose an interferometric scheme to observe an analogue of the circular Unruh effect using a localized laser coupled to a Bose-Einstein condensate.
