Direct Measurement of Competing Quantum Effects on the Kinetic Energy of Heavy Water upon Melting

Even at room temperature, quantum mechanics plays a major role in determining the quantitative behavior of light nuclei, changing significantly the values of physical properties such as the heat capacity. However, other observables appear to be only weakly affected by nuclear quantum effects (NQEs);...
