Abstract

FINDING: Macroscopic quantum tunneling and superposition are experimentally probed via atom interferometry and levitated nanoparticles, but no new mathematical formalism or constant emerges from these sources. | MATH: No explicit equations, constants, or ratios are given in the abstracts; the underlying framework remains standard quantum mechanics (Schrödinger equation, path integrals, decoherence rates ∝ mass²). | CONNECTION: None directly stated; however, atom interferometry inherently relies on lattice structures (optical lattices) and momentum-space symmetry, and levitated nanoparticle superpositions involve harmonic oscillator modes (frequency ratios, not golden-ratio based). | DEPTH: 3 — These are experimental confirmations of known theory, not new mathematical discoveries.
