Errors in quantum computers are an obstacle for their widespread use. But a team of scientists say that, by using an antimony atom and the Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment, they could have found a way to stop them.

Quantum computers rely on a quirk of physics in which a system can exist in a "superposition" of multiple states at once. This allows a quantum computer to explore multiple possib

Using famous Schrodinger's cat thought experiment, researchers devise a new silicon quantum chip that is less prone to logical errors.

Features of the famous Schrödinger’s Cat thought experiment have been applied in the real world using a single antimony atom embedded in a silicon chip. Surprising as it may seem, the atom has a more complex quantum life than even the theoretical cat manages.

Quantum mechanics has long been the playground of paradoxes, a field where atoms behave like both waves and particles, and cats are both alive and dead. Now, researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have brought a twist to the famous Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment,
