Scientists finally solve a century-old quantum mystery
A Vermont research team has cracked a 90-year-old puzzle, creating a quantum version of the damped harmonic oscillator. By reformulating Lamb’s classical model, they showed how atomic vibrations can be fully described while preserving quantum uncertainty. The discovery could fuel next-generation precision tools.
