No thought experiment exemplifies the weirdness of quantum mechanics better than Schrödinger's cat. The cat — a seemingly ridiculous example of a familiar object ruled by quantum mechanics ...

USTC researchers created a long-lived Schrödinger-cat state, boosting quantum metrology and precision measurements. Their ...

Quantum computers could be made with fewer overall components, thanks to technology inspired by Schrödinger's cat. A team of researchers from Amazon Web Services has used "bosonic cat qubits," to ...

AWS's first-ever quantum chip uses "cat qubits" to reduce errors exponentially as more qubits are added to a system. Scientists say it will lead to scalable and efficient quantum computers.

Devised in 1935 by the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger, this thought experiment was designed to shine a spotlight on the difficulty with interpreting quantum theory. Quantum theory is very ...
