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 ...

Scientists used antimony atoms to improve quantum computing by making qubits more stable, like a quantum cat, and ...

it's as if we saw our cat coming home with a big scratch on his face," co-author Andrea Morello, a professor of electrical engineering and quantum physics at UNSW, said in the statement.

The researchers published their findings Wednesday (Jan.14) in the journal Nature Physics. First devised by physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1925, his thought experiment evocatively describes the weird ...

In quantum computers, for instance, the fundamental units of standard computers, "bits" are replaced with "quantum bits" or ...

Quantum mechanics has puzzled scientists and philosophers for more than a century. One of the most famous quantum thought experiments is that of the "Schrödinger's cat"—a cat whose life or ...

He imagined a box containing a radioactive atom, a vial of poison and a cat. Governed by quantum rules, the radioactive atom can either decay or not at any given moment. There’s no telling when ...

A research team from the University of New South Wales announced that they have realized the quantum state of Schrödinger's cat on a silicon chip. In 1935, Schrödinger proposed a thought ...
