World Quantum Day 2025: What is quantum superposition and what does it mean for quantum computing?
Today (April 14) marks 2025's World Quantum Day, an international celebration held to promote public understanding of quantum science. The date, 4/14, was chosen because 4.14 represents the first ...
A sapphire crystal weighing 16 micrograms is the largest object ever to exist in a quantum-mechanical superposition of two vibrational states. Researchers at the Hybrid Quantum Systems Group at the ...
Quantum effects have been demonstrated on one of the largest scales ever, pushing the boundaries of the quantum world. A crystal of 10^16 atoms has been placed in a superposition of two quantum states ...
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 ...
