Uninformed question: isn't this somewhat what we'd expect? Neutrinos interact very weakly with matter so they're much more likely to stay in superposition? Or is this happening at a much greater scale than expected?
- Bartweiss 10y agoThat's my impression also: distance travelled as an inherent property shouldn't 'break' quantum effects. It matters only because larger scale implies a larger chance of interaction, and because it relates to no-go theorems. Still, I don't think these effects have been seen over such distances, even if they were expected. Despite the title, the scientists quoted don't sound baffled as much as excited. I think this is a case of "we found it after all!"
