Schrödinger's cat,' a thought experiment in which a cat placed in a box is considered to be alive or dead, was proposed by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in the early 20th century.

Now, researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have brought a twist to the famous Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment, using a heavy atom and a silicon chip to address one of the ...
