Physicists have coaxed clusters of thousands of atoms into a delicate quantum limbo, creating a record breaking version of Schrödinger’s famous cat that is both “here” and “there” at once. By pushing ...

Schrödinger’s cat just got a little bit fatter. Physicists have created the largest ever ‘superposition’ — a quantum state in which an object exists in a haze of possible locations at once. A team ...

Image shows a laser beam in Gavin Morley’s lab probes the quantum properties of a diamond. Scientists are developing an experiment to test whether gravity is quantum In quantum mechanics, which ...
