"Feline Physics: ETH Zurich Researchers Create Record-Breaking Schrödinger Cat Experiment with Heaviest 'Quantum Cat' Yet"

Researchers at ETH Zurich have successfully created a heavier Schrödinger cat, weighing 16 micrograms, using an oscillating crystal and a superconducting circuit, which can take on the logical states "0" or "1" or a superposition of both states. The results of this experiment could help researchers better understand why quantum superpositions are not observed in everyday life and lead to more robust quantum bits. The researchers hope to push the mass limits of their crystal cats even further to gain a better understanding of the disappearance of quantum effects in the macroscopic world.
