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.

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.

Scientists create conditions resembling a "superpositioned" Schrodinger's cat

The principle of quantum superposition allows the system to be prepared with two arbitrary state superpositions. A paradigmous example is the superposition of two coherent states. Superposition of such states is usually referred to as the Schrödinger cat state, but in Irwin Schrodinger’s original thought experiment, a cat-temperature-equal system system is prepared with superposition of [...] Source The post Scientists create conditions resembli…
