Physicists have identified a loophole in Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle that allows simultaneous measurement of a particle’s position and momentum in modular form. The approach, demonstrated with trapped ions, avoids breaking the principle itself while promising advances in quantum sensors, navigation systems, and precision clocks.
