Observation of Radiation Pressure Shot Noise on a Macroscopic Object
Open accessAbstract
Macroscopic Uncertainty: According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, it is impossible to know both the position and the momentum of a microscopic particle with absolute certainty; pinpointing the location introduces an uncertainty in the velocity, which translates into position uncertainty at later times. Now, Purdy et al. (p. 801 ; see the Perspective by Milburn ) have measured the position of a macroscopic object (a small, but visible-to-the-naked-eye membrane suspended in an optical cavity) at cryogenic temperatures and observed the uncertainty in its position caused by the recoiling photons used for the measurement.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
