Scientists Generate ‘Hot Schrödinger Cat States’
The quantum superposition principle allows us to prepare a system in a superposition of two arbitrary states. The paradigmatic example is the superposition of two coherent states. While the superposition of such states is typically called a Schrödinger cat state, in Erwin Schrödinger’s original thought experiment, the cat — a body-temperature and out-of-equilibrium system — … Read more
