The quantum superposition principle has been tested on a scale as never before in a new study by scientists at the University of Vienna in collaboration with the University of Basel. Hot, complex ...

In an iconic thought experiment, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger imagined a cat that could be dead or alive—a clever ...

Quantum cat states built from intrinsically nonclassical components have been demonstrated by Oxford physicists in a trapped ...

“More than one reality exists” screams the headline. Cue sighs of tired dread from physicists everywhere as they wonder what otherwise bland result has been spun out of control. In this case, though, ...

Red and blue: a photon of two colours has been made. (Courtesy: iStock/-strizh-) Individual photons have been put into a quantum superposition of two different colours by a team of physicists in the ...

Information can successfully be transmitted through noisy channels using quantum mechanics, according to new research from The University of Queensland and Griffith University. We all know it's ...

Schrödinger’s cat, famously, is both alive and dead – but what if it could be something else as well? Researchers at the ...

Erwin Schrödinger's famous thought experiment, in which we consider a cat inside a box containing a sample of radioactive material whose decay triggers a hammer to break a vial of poison that kills ...
