If the atom decays, the Geiger counter triggers the release of poison, killing the cat. Quantum mechanics suggests that, until we observe the system, the atom exists in a superposition of decayed ...

you could place a cat in a box with a poison whose release was triggered by a radioactive decay governed by quantum mechanics—and, until the box was opened and observed, the atom would both have ...

Quantum sensing applies the principles of quantum mechanics to enable extremely precise measurements of the very smallest magnetic fields and other physical quantities. A key concept here is electron ...
