Stanford researchers hear the sound of quantum drums

Stanford researchers use individual molecules to build remarkably small drums in order answer an old math conundrum: "Can you hear the shape of a drum?" In the process, they find a new way to extract quantum information that is usually inaccessible.

Results published in the journal Science.
