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 ...

Schrödinger’s thought experiment is a metaphor to describe the peculiar nature of quantum superposition. In the original scenario, a cat is placed in a sealed box with a radioactive atom, a ...

A cat sits inside a computer shell. A new study has demonstrated a real-world Schrödinger's cat that could help bring practical quantum computers a step closer.

Imagine you have an atom sitting in space. ... In Schrödinger’s cat experiment, the key is that no information leaks from the box, which puts the cat in a superposition state of alive and dead.

In 1935, E. Schrödinger proposed his well-known cat thought experiment suggesting, but not explaining, how a measurement transforms the probable states of an atom into the actual state of a cat (alive ...

Antimony atom cat. The cat state in the UNSW study is an atom of antimony, which is a heavy atom with a large nuclear spin. The high spin value implies that, instead of just pointing up and down (that ...

Atom Chips. Magnetic fi elds on a microchip can produce tiny, coherent clouds of atoms called Bose-Einstein condensates. ... such as the famous but mysterious Schrödinger's cat, ...

The famous thought experiment of Schrödinger’s Cat neatly sums up a complex quantum phenomenon in terms we can visualize. Now scientists have created the heaviest Schrödinger’s Cat to date ...

"Schrödinger's Cat" is one of the most infamous thought experiments in the history of science. What features must a real-world experiment have to count as a Schrödinger cat?

Schrödinger began to think about explaining the movement of an electron in an atom as a wave. By 1926 he published his work, providing a theoretical basis for the atomic model that Niels Bohr had ...

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 ...
