Macroscopic Violation of Special Relativity

08/18/2007 11:26 AM

Evanescent propagation modes of microwave photons across a dual-prism gap do not undergo phase shift and represent a case of quantum tunneling where the photons traverse the gap in zero time. Read the original paper here, and the article in New Scientist here.

Note: The author of the New Scientist article mis-transcribed the units from the original piece. Whilst reading the New Scientist article, substitute 'mm' where the author writes 'cm'.

Looks like Jorrie has beat me to the punch. However, do check out the original paper for details.
