Why it matters for readers: It reveals a surprising quantum effect where a probability-like quantity can be larger than one, challenging everyday intuition.

  • Scientists at the Raman Research Institute experimentally measured a quantum measure value of 1.17.1
  • This experiment is described as the first experimental verification that a quantum measure can exceed one.1
  • The work was done by Sanchari Chakraborti as a PhD student under the supervision of Urbasi Sinha.1
  • The study was published in the journal Quantum in the month before the Oct 19, 2026 report.1
  • Quantum measure is presented as the quantum analogue of probability and can behave differently from classical probabilities.1
