Born’s rule is one of the cornerstones of quantum physics. Needless to say that a potential violation of this rule might point to something very interesting happening. In a brand new publication we report about the first explicit test of this rule with matter-waves. Using a special slit mask manufactured by Ori Cheshnovsky at the University of Tel Aviv, we were able to state the first bounds on the impact of non-standard quantum mechanics. More information can be found here.
