- Physicists have confirmed a theoretically predicted phenomenon called the quantum boomerang effect. In the quantum boomerang effect, particles return to their starting positions, on average, after a nudge. A new experiment demonstrates a version of the effect using lithium atoms. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/quantum-boomerang-effect-seen-first-time 11 comments science
