Researchers at MIT have developed two new control techniques that have enabled them to achieve a world-record single-qubit fidelity of 99.998 percent using a superconducting qubit called fluxonium. This breakthrough marks a significant step towards the realization of practical quantum computing.

First proposed in 1935 by the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger, "Schrödinger's cat" was designed to highlight the physicist's concerns with one interpretation of quantum mechanics—the then relatively new theory that explains how matter behaves at the atomic (and smaller) scale.

In a groundbreaking experiment, UNSW researchers successfully applied the Schrödinger’s cat concept using an antimony atom to enhance quantum computations. This method significantly improves the reliability of quantum data processing and error correction,

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

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,
