This episode explores a modern experiment in China that tested—and confirmed—Niels Bohr’s view of quantum mechanics over Einstein’s objections.

Using a single rubidium atom to realize a famous thought experiment, researchers showed how measuring momentum destroys interference, validating the uncertainty principle and complementarity.

The results bring a century-old quantum debate firmly into physical reality.
