In a stunning breakthrough that challenges long-held assumptions in quantum physics, a team of researchers from the University of Innsbruck has managed to create a Schrödinger’s cat state at ...

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.

Schrodinger wrote how in this quantum system, the cat is alive and dead at the same time, "mixed or spread out in equal parts." More in World Sweden invented ‘flight shaming’.

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 ...

The bizarre laws of quantum physics postulate that physical objects can exist in a combination of multiple states, like being in two places at once or possessing various velocities simultaneously ...

Physicists at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) are the first to succeed in creating and manipulating quantum superpositions of a single, large nuclear spin. The superposition involves spin ...

In a quantum parable dreamt up in the 1930s by physicist Erwin Schrödinger, a cat is trapped in a box and, due to quantum effects, winds up alive and dead at the same time (SN: 5/26/16).This ...

Quantum physics was one of the great scientific theories of the 20th century, Dooley says. And the other great scientific theory of the 20th century was Einstein’s theory of general relativity, ...

Time and Schrodinger's Tree. ... The story of Schrödinger's Tree is a real-world quantum physics experiment and a lesson about not coming to conclusions when faced with the ambiguous nature of time.
