The famous thought experiment of Schrödinger’s Cat neatly sums up a complex quantum phenomenon, highlighting how bizarre that unseen world is by putting it in terms we can visualize. Now, scientists ...

In a stunning breakthrough that challenges long-held assumptions in quantum physics, a team of researchers from the University of Innsbruck has managed to create a Schrödinger’s cat state at ...

Physicists have placed part of a sapphire crystal into a quantum superposition, making it the heaviest object to show quantum effects, in a new take on Erwin Schrödinger's famous cat experiment. When ...

Quantum superpositions are typically fragile and fleeting, but one such state has now been maintained for a record-breaking 23 minutes. Keeping quantum states stable for this long could help make more ...

After escaping the Nazis by minutes and then getting smuggled through spy-infested Stockholm, the bomb bay of a British fighter jet might have been a relief to physicist Niels Bohr. His approach to ...

Physicists have brought the well-known thought experiment of Schrödinger's cat to life in a breakthrough that could help weed out errors in future quantum computers. The team from Australia has ...
