After escaping the Nazis by minutes and then getting smuggled through spy-infested Stockholm, the bomb bay of a British fighter jet might have been a relief to physicist Niels Bohr. His approach to ...

Schrödinger’s cat, the infamous thought experiment involving a cat that can be alive and dead at the same time, has been brought to life with qubits. Schrödinger’s cat experiments have been done with ...

Quantum superpositions are typically fragile and fleeting, but one such state has now been maintained for a record-breaking 23 minutes. Keeping quantum states stable for this long could help make more ...

In the world of quantum physics, another record appears to have just been broken. In a paper listed on the preprint site ArXiv, researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China claim ...

Quantum states can only be prepared and observed under highly controlled conditions. A research team has now succeeded in creating so-called hot Schrodinger cat states in a superconducting microwave ...

Errors in quantum computers are an obstacle for their widespread use. But a team of scientists say that, by using an antimony atom and the Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment, they could have found a ...
