Exploring the limits of quantum theory for arbitrarily massive objects is a fascinating and ambitious endeavor at the interface of quantum mechanics and general relativity. While most quantum experiments have involved relatively small particles (like electrons and photons), there is growing interest in examining how quantum mechanics applies to larger, more massive systems.Use a highly sophisticated optomechanical setup where a large mechanical oscillator (e.g., a vibrating membrane or a large mass-spring system) can be prepared in a coherent superposition of different vibrational states.The mass of the object should be on…
