Making big 'Schroedinger cats': Quantum research pushes boundary by testing micro theory for macro objects Posted: 21 Jul 2013 01:17 PM PDT Since Erwin Schroedinger's famous 1935 cat thought experiment, physicists around the globe have tried to create large scale systems to test how the rules of quantum mechanics apply to everyday objects. Researchers recently made a significant step forward in this direction by creating a large system that is in two substantially different states at the same time.
