In two places at once

In two places at once Quantum superpositions of objects consisting of millions of atoms may be achievable with cavity quantum optomechanical techniques. Published Thu Jul 07, 2011 A fundamental feature of quantum physics is superposition of states, such as the double slit experiment in which a particle passes through both slits at the same time …
