RESUMEN
Helium shows fascinating quantum phenomena unseen in any other element. In its liquid phase, it is the only known superfluid. The smallest aggregates of helium, the dimer (He2) and the trimer (He3) are, in their predicted structure, unique natural quantum objects. While one might intuitively expect the structure of (4)He3 to be an equilateral triangle, a manifold of predictions on its shape have yielded an ongoing dispute for more than 20 years. These predictions range from (4)He3 being mainly linear to being mainly an equilateral triangle. Here we show experimental images of the wave functions of (4)He3 and (3)He(4)He2 obtained by Coulomb explosion imaging of mass-selected clusters. We propose that (4)He3 is a structureless random cloud and that (3)He(4)He2 exists as a quantum halo state.
