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 ...
Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of ...

According to quantum mechanics, unless the atom is directly observed, it must be considered to be in a superposition—that is, being in multiple states at the same time—of decayed and not decayed. This ...

A new technique improves the reliability of cat qubits by squeezing their probabilistic states. This could improve their reliability and lifetime, and pave the way for accurate quantum computing. When ...
Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...
