Researchers Achieve Quantum Breakthrough with 'Hot Schrödinger Cat States'
- Researchers in Innsbruck, Austria, created hot Schrödinger cat states using a superconducting microwave resonator in April 2025.
- Scientists aimed to challenge the assumption that quantum effects require extremely cold temperatures to be observed.
- The team successfully demonstrated quantum superpositions using thermally excited states, defying conventional expectations.
- The team created quantum superpositions at 1.8 Kelvin, a temperature 60 times hotter than the cavity's ambient level.
- This discovery broadens the understanding of quantum mechanics and may lead to more practical quantum technologies.

Schrödinger's Cat Just Got Warmer: Quantum Superposition at Record-Breaking Temperatures
A team of physicists has shattered conventional wisdom about quantum mechanics by creating "hot Schrödinger cat states" at temperatures much warmer than previously thought possible. The post Schrödinger’s Cat Just Got Warmer: Quantum Superposition at Record-Breaking Temperatures appeared first on Study Finds.
Alive, Dead, and Hot: Schrödinger’s Cat Defies the Rules of Quantum Physics
Researchers have pulled off a quantum feat that defies traditional expectations—they’ve created Schrödinger cat states not from ultra-cold ground states, but from warm, thermally excited ones. Using a superconducting qubit setup, the team demonstrated that quantum superpositions can exist even at higher temperatures, overturning the long-held belief that heat destroys quantum effects. This breakthrough not [...]
Hot Schrödinger cat states created
Quantum states can only be prepared and observed under highly controlled conditions. A research team from Innsbruck, Austria, has now succeeded in creating so-called hot Schrödinger cat states in a superconducting microwave resonator. The study, published in Science Advances, shows that quantum phenomena can also be observed and used in less perfect, warmer conditions.
MIT's 'remote entanglement' discovery lets QPUs to communicate at vast distances
Researchers have created a device that allows quantum processors to communicate with each other directly — an important step in developing practical quantum computers. It could mean both faster and less error-prone communication between processors. Existing quantum architecture offers only limited communication between separate quantum processing units (QPUs). Such communication is “point-to-point,” meaning that information has to be transferred…
