Do Electrons Ever Break the Rules? Inside the VIP-2 Experiment

The Quark Side - Quantum Physics Podcast

About this episode

Scientists tested one of physics’ most important rules: that two electrons cannot occupy the same state. By closely observing copper atoms, the VIP-2 experiment looked for signs that this rule might fail. None were found, strengthening our confidence in how matter is built at the smallest scale and ruling out several exotic quantum ideas.
