The quantum cat state is probably one of the most famous – the idea that a quantum system can exist in the superposition of two different states. It was exemplified by Erwin Schrodinger’s famous thought experiment where an imaginary cat is trapped in a ...

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 quantum mechanics held unsettling implications about the ...

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 particles before, but all of them were cooled to ...

Harnessing the strange properties of the quantum world for real-world use is the key to the future. Quantum computers work at speeds several orders of magnitude higher than that of classical computers,

Quantum computing remains something of a holy grail in the world of technology: It promises a huge leap in computing power, but only if someone can figure out how to square away the fault rates that prevent any scaling of the tech. Now, one of the more ...

English professor lands $400K National Science Foundation grant to improve learning in humanities and science.

Physicists have brought the well-known thought experiment of Schrödinger's cat to life in a breakthrough that could help weed out errors in future quantum computers. The team from Australia has demonstrated that an atom of antimony can be used to store ...
