Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a ...

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.

A cat sits inside a computer shell. A new study has demonstrated a real-world Schrödinger's cat that could help bring practical quantum computers a step closer.

Physics Quantum 'Schrödinger's cat' survives for a stunning 23 minutes. A typically fragile quantum superposition has been made to last exceptionally long, and could eventually be used as a probe ...

The famous thought experiment of Schrödinger’s Cat neatly sums up a complex quantum phenomenon in terms we can visualize. Now scientists have created the heaviest Schrödinger’s Cat to date ...

Now, researchers made a Schrödinger’s cat that’s much heavier than those previously created, testing the muddy waters where the world of quantum mechanics gives way to the classical physics ...

In the quantum Cheshire cat experiments, a weak measurement is made along a path in the interferometer, the paths then merge, and the emerging particles are measured with an ordinary detector.

What does quantum physics have to do with vibrant oil paintings and the ghostly grin of a disappearing cat? Quite a lot, as it turns out. In this month’s Physics World Stories podcast, host Andrew ...

Ever since Austrian scientist Erwin Schrodinger put his unfortunate cat in a box, his fellow physicists have been using something called quantum theory to explain and understand the nature of waves ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have created the heaviest Schrödinger cat to date. For this, they combined an oscillating crystal with a superconducting circuit. They hope to better understand the reason ...

A quantum bit inspired by Schrödinger’s cat can resist making errors for an unprecedentedly long time, which makes it a candidate for building less error-prone quantum computers ...

Quantum computers rely on a quirk of physics in which a system can exist in a "superposition" of multiple states at once. This allows a quantum computer to explore multiple possibilities at the ...
