Schrödinger's cat just got an upgrade: "Sibling" cat states now push the limits of quantum physics
Schrödinger’s cat, famously, is both alive and dead – but what if it could be something else as well? Researchers at the ...

Tiny metal particles made of thousands of atoms can exist in multiple places at once, physicists prove for the first time
A speck of metal containing thousands of atoms has no business behaving like a ghost. Yet in a vacuum chamber at the University of Vienna, sodium nanoclusters weighing nearly 200,000 times the mass of ...
Over a decade ago, when I was first starting to pretend I could write about quantum mechanics, I covered a truly bizarre experiment. One half of a pair of entangled photons was sent through a device ...
“This retroactive idea. It has to be that,” says Nobel Prize-winning mathematical physicist Sir Roger Penrose, reflecting on a problem about the building blocks of reality that has dogged physics for ...
Gravity is one of four fundamental interactions. The most precise description of this force is still provided by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, published in 1915, an entirely classical ...
A small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum computers—if validated, that is. Reading time 3 minutes The entire spiel of ...
