US researchers have observed a phenomenon known as ‘quantum superchemistry,’ in which ultracold atoms undergo chemical reactions at a faster rate than usual. The effect was predicted theoretically more than 20 years ago, but this is one of the first times the phenomenon been seen.

A giant leap for ‘quantum superchemistry’

Ultracold atoms can undergo chemical reactions all at once

Chemistry World

Scientists have observed a new phenomenon called quantum superchemistry, where two molecules interact without touching each other. The phenomenon occurs when the molecules are in a quantum state called entanglement, which means they share a quantum connection even when they are far apart. The phenomenon could have implications for quantum computing, sensing, and communication.
