A basic pendulum is a mass at the end of a string that swings back and forth. It seems simple, and it appears in most introductory physics textbooks. But it's not a trivial problem to solve for ...

Nature Physics - A macroscopic quantum pendulum has now been created by confining a polariton condensate in a parabolic optical trap. Spectacular images of multiparticle wavefunctions are obtained ...

This module expands on the capabilities for teaching using a Pendulum. A pendulum by itself can provide valuable insight into harmonic motion and the relationship between frequency and period. It can ...

A strong permanent magnet acts as a simple pendulum, swinging back and forth while hanging from strings. A copper plate underneath the magnet can be moved up to tune the eddy current damping. Swing ...

For all its technical complexity, the experiment mimics a very simple phenomenon ... nonquantum physics goes, that should be the end of the story. But a quantum pendulum should behave very ...
