First formulated in 1935, the famous thought experiment attempts to explain the weirdness of quantum superposition, but a new study shows that this theoretical feline is really only the beginning of ...

The quantum superposition principle has been tested on a scale as never before in a new study by scientists at the University of Vienna in collaboration with the University of Basel. Hot, complex ...

It's not the kind of language you'd expect to hear from a guy who grew up finessing life with his fists in South Philly, sometimes in the ring, sometimes not. Early in David Walton's new sci-fi novel, ...

Walk on the quantum side: caesium atom in a superposition Is there a limit on how large a quantum superposition can be or can macroscopic objects, such as humans or say cats, also exist in a ...

Topological defects are encountered in fields ranging from condensed-matter physics to cosmology. These broken-symmetry objects are intrinsically local, but theoretical work now suggests that ...

Interrelated Superposition and entanglement can be observed independently of the theoretical framework used to explain them. (Courtesy: iStock_Traffic-Analyzer) When a forest loses its trees, it also ...

In human relationships, the question of being a couple or not has a yes-or-no answer: either one is a couple or not. Quantum physics offers an interesting alternative. There, the couples are pairs of ...

PHYSICS HAS A problem. In general relativity, time is entwined with space. It is relative, depending on speed or gravity. In quantum mechanics, however, time is an absolute. It is a smooth background ...
