Quantum mechanics powers lasers and precision measurements. A century-spanning perspective examines those successes and the ...

Schrödinger’s cat, famously, is both alive and dead – but what if it could be something else as well? Researchers at the University of Oxford have discovered not one but an entire family of weird ...

In quantum physics, the idea is that there are a number of possibilities for the state, location, or other properties of various ultra-tiny particles, but those do not solidify into one thing until ...

Oxford physicists have created an entirely new type of Schrödinger’s cat-like quantum state using components that are themselves highly quantum in nature. The advance could open new possibilities for ...
