Detecting quantum particles of gravity was long considered hopeless. A new perspective, which takes advantage of quantum technologies, suggests that an experimental realization may be closer than previously thought.
When viewed as a positive‐feedback oscillator, with a resonance frequency, energy input and loss mechanisms, the flute displays properties that explain physically how the performer adapts his technique to sound the instrument over its three‐octave range.
