Quantum mechanics, unlike classical physics, allows objects to exist in more than one state at the same time. This idea is ...

One reason to test ever larger Schrödinger’s kittens is they might show us that quantum mechanics itself breaks down before ...

The universe is a strange, beautiful place—rich with possibilities and governed by the odd rules of quantum mechanics. One of the most mind-bending ideas from this realm is the many-worlds ...

UNSW Sydney engineers have riffed on the famous Schrödinger's cat analogy to demonstrate a more efficient way to eliminate ...

Quantum states can only be prepared and observed under highly controlled conditions. A research team has now succeeded in creating so-called hot Schrodinger cat states in a superconducting microwave ...

Schrödinger’s cat just got a little bit fatter. Physicists have created the largest ever ‘superposition’ — a quantum state in which an object exists in a haze of possible locations at once. A team ...

A quantum bit inspired by Schrödinger’s cat has managed to resist making errors for an unusually long time in a quantum computing experiment. This may make it a promising building block for more ...

I have always found it strange when physicists say that they repeat quantum experiments. They repeat only certain parameters – they cannot ever repeat precisely the total physical environment. All ...
