Researchers Strive to Build Quantum Mechanics Bridges by Splitting Single Atom

University of Bonn researchers have shown how one atom can be split into two halves, taken apart and then joined together again. The researchers strived to build quantum mechanics bridges by making the atom come into contact with adjacent atoms while it is being taken apart so that it functions like a bridge spanning between two pillars. The results are published in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” journal.
