Physicists have created a Schrödinger's cat state at unusually hot temperatures, and it could be a major step toward the development of practical quantum computers. Schrödinger's cat states exist in ...

Quantum mechanics has long been the playground of paradoxes, a field where atoms behave like both waves and particles, and ...

In physics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment in which a cat is trapped in a box with a particle that has a 50-50 ...

In 1935, Austrian-born physicist Erwin Schrödinger described a thought experiment that magnified a glaring problem at the heart of quantum mechanics. To this day, the problem remains, summed up by ...

Drawing from Schrodinger's cat thought experiment, scientists have built a 'critical cat code' qubit that uses bosons to store and process information in a way that is more reliable and resistant to ...

A quantum bit inspired by Schrödinger’s cat has managed to resist making errors for an unusually long time in a quantum computing experiment. This may make it a promising building block for more ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) The Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment illustrates the absurd consequences of the mathematics of quantum physics: A cat trapped in a box seems to be both alive and dead at ...

Quantum states can only be prepared and observed under highly controlled conditions. A research team from Innsbruck, Austria, has now succeeded in creating so-called hot Schrödinger cat states in a ...

The universe is a strange, beautiful place—rich with possibilities and governed by the odd rules of quantum mechanics. One of the most mind-bending ideas from this realm is the many-worlds ...

"No one has ever seen an actual cat in a state of being both dead and alive at the same time, but people use the Schrödinger's cat metaphor to describe a superposition of quantum states that differ by ...
