Brazilian scientists from the Federal University ABC conducted an experiment to test the principle of additionality proposed by Niels Bohr. According to this principle, objects have complementary properties that cannot be observed simultaneously. The researchers used nuclear magnetic resonance methods and analyzed the behavior of quantum systems.
The results of the study confirmed Bohr’s principle of additionality. Quantum systems acquire their own reality only after creating an experimental model and interacting with an observer. This means that reality depends on the observer and does not exist objectively.
Bohr’s principle of additionality was proposed in 1928, and since then scientists have conducted many experiments to confirm or refute this hypothesis. In 1927, at the Solvay Conference of physicists and chemists, there was a dispute between Bohr and Einstein. Bohr argued that quantum systems acquire their own reality only after the creation of an experimental model, while Einstein insisted that quantum states have their own reality.
Subsequently, other scientists such as John Archibald Wheeler conducted experiments to confirm Bohr’s principle of additionality. Wheeler used an apparatus that operated in two modes of measurement: wave and particle. His research only confirmed Bohr’s hypothesis.
Brazilian scientists used nuclear magnetic resonance techniques to investigate the behavior of quantum systems. They found that quantum systems acquire their own reality only after interacting with an observer. This means that reality depends on the observer and does not exist objectively.
Experiments with particles have shown that they can exhibit hybrid behavior, such as superposing themselves on waves. This confirms Bohr’s principle of additionality.
