Quantum superposition states created at warmer temperatures, questioning the need for extreme cold in order to work with Schrödinger's cat.

but people use the Schrödinger's cat metaphor to describe a superposition of quantum states that differ by a large amount," said physics professor Andrea Morello of Australia's University of New ...

Schrödinger’s cat is a thought experiment in quantum physics that was proposed by Erwin Schrödinger in 1935. It describes a cat placed in a sealed box with a device that can kill the cat.

Now, scientists have created the heaviest Schrödinger’s Cat to date, probing the boundaries between quantum and classical physics. Particles on the quantum scale can behave in ways that don’t ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have created the heaviest Schrödinger cat ... in quantum mechanical superposition states of being in two places at the same time. At ETH, a team of researchers led by Yiwen ...

In keeping with the grand tradition of tubby cats ... physics that describes the everyday world— like an alive or dead cat — rather than two states that exist only in the quantum domain ...

Quantum computers could be made with fewer overall components, thanks to technology inspired by Schrödinger's cat. A team of researchers from Amazon Web Services has used "bosonic cat qubits," to ...

After all, no matter how large an object is, it is composed of atoms and subatomic particles that obey the rules of quantum physics. Kotler notesthat finding larger cat states is a way of ...

Because in everyday life we don’t see anything that behaves quantum mechanically. As Professor of Solid State Physics at ETH Zurich ... because of course no one has ever seen a cat dead and alive at ...
