Why Even Physicists Still Don’t Understand Quantum Theory 100 Years On

I 🤍 this art with a cute #SchrodingersCat depicting how low mass atoms like hydrogen can quantum tunnel through reaction energy threshold 'walls' instead of surmounting energetic hills.

The Methylhydroxycarbene -> Acetaldehyde reaction is shown, which exclusive forms the product via quantum tunnelling.

This review by Prof. Schriener and colleagues on the importance of #quantumtunneling in many #organicchemistry reactions provides great examples:

"This measured value agrees with quantum tunnelling calculations, serving as a benchmark for molecular theory and advancing the understanding of fundamental collision processes. A deviation of the reaction rate from linear scaling, which is observed at high H2 densities, can be traced back to previously unobserved heating dynamics in radiofrequency ion traps."

"Here, we demonstrate a conceptually new type of scanning probe microscope—the quantum twisting microscope (QTM)...With the addition of a continuously scanned twist angle between the tip and sample, this microscope probes electrons along a line in momentum space similar to how a scanning tunnelling microscope probes electrons along a line in real space."
