Quantum mechanics, unlike classical physics, allows objects to exist in more than one state at the same time. This idea is often illustrated by Schrödinger's cat, imagined as being both alive and dead ...

Physicists have coaxed clusters of thousands of atoms into a delicate quantum limbo, creating a record breaking version of Schrödinger’s famous cat that is both “here” and “there” at once. By pushing ...

Oxford physicists have created an entirely new type of Schrödinger’s cat-like quantum state using components that are themselves highly quantum in nature. The advance could open new possibilities for ...

In an iconic thought experiment, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger imagined a cat that could be dead or alive—a clever analogy to the quirkiness of quantum superpositions. Nearly a century after ...

Physicists at the University of Oxford have demonstrated a fundamentally new family of quantum cat states — quantum superpositions whose individual components are not the smooth, near-classical wave ...
