A record-breaking experiment shows that a cluster of thousands of atoms can act like a wave as well as a particle ...
The team have pushed the boundaries of quantum mechanics beyond what some thought possible. Now they want to go even further ...
Researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have used the famous Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment in the real world to find better ways of correcting errors that accumulate during ...

Physicists trap metal clumps in mind-bending Schrödinger’s cat quantum state
Physicists have pushed one of the strangest ideas in science into new territory, holding tiny clumps of metal in a quantum limbo that recalls Schrödinger’s famous cat. Instead of a single atom or ...

Paul explains Schrödinger’s cat
In physics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment in which a cat is trapped in a box with a particle that has a 50-50 ...
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 ...
"No one has ever seen an actual cat in a state of being both dead and alive at the same time, but people use the Schrödinger's cat metaphor to describe a superposition of quantum states that differ by ...
Quantum states can only be prepared and observed under highly controlled conditions. A research team from Innsbruck, Austria, has now succeeded in creating so-called hot Schrödinger cat states in a ...
