In the quantum world, observing a particle is not a passive act. If you shine light on a quantum object to measure its position, photons scatter off it and disturb its motion. This disturbance is known as quantum backaction noise, and it limits how precisely physicists can observe or control delicate quantum systems. Physicists at Swansea University have now proposed a technique that could eliminate quantum backaction noise in optical traps, allowing a particle to remain suspended in space undis
