A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...
Schrödinger’s cat just got a little bit fatter. Physicists have created the largest ever ‘superposition’ — a quantum state in ...
Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...
Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

Metal nanoparticles behave like waves in high-stakes quantum experiment
Researchers from the University of Vienna and the University of Duisburg-Essen showed that metallic ...
Albert Einstein was right about a shocking among of things, but not necessarily everything.
A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...
In 1971, graduate student Stuart Freedman and postdoctoral fellow John Clauser took over a room in the sub-basement of Birge Hall at the University of California, Berkeley, and built an experiment ...
An experiment outlined by a UCL-led team could test whether relatively large masses have a quantum nature, resolving the question of whether quantum mechanical description works at a much larger scale ...
The double-slit experiment is the best demonstration of quantum weirdness, in which electrons simultaneously act like particles and waves and seemingly violate basic laws of physics. Now we’re trying ...
