Normally, when large numbers of particles are involved, such quantum effects fade away.<\/p>\n<p>But the laureates\u2019 experiments showed that \u201cbizarre properties of the quantum world can be made concrete in a system big enough to be held in the hand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, the Nobel in Physics was awarded to John J.
