Cracking Quantum Waves: Ohm’s Law Revisited

New research uncovers the quantum roots of wave conductance, revealing how transmission zeros (TZs) disrupt classical scaling laws like Ohm’s law. Through precise microwave measurements, scientists demonstrated how these quantum effects cause dips in conductance by correlating transmission eigenvalues in random media. This groundbreaking study not only explains these deviations but also suggests applications in ultrasensitive detection, imaging, and wave-based data compression. The findings bridge the gap between quantum mechanics and classical physics, opening doors to new technologies that leverage wave behavior in complex systems.
