For the first time: the experiment of the two cracks in the timeline

  • No comments
In an article published in the magazine Nature Physics, a team of researchers from Britain, the USA, Germany and Australia demonstrated for the first time the two cracks experiment in the timeline. Instead of spatial dispersion on a screen, the temporal crack created a dispersion in the light spectrum, and from the combination of another crack an interference pattern similar to the spatial pattern from the classic experiment was created. The experiment opens a window for the construction of time-varying optical instruments in a reliable and stable manner.

This is what the CEO of the young chip company Tremount says in a personal interview. The company raised $8 million led by Grove Ventures to create the next generation of optical connectivity for the chip industry. Among other things, Dedi Perlmutter, former senior vice president at Intel and chairman of Tremount's board of directors, participated in the recruitment.
