for quantum physics, researchers have successfully
created a Schrodinger's cat state at temperatures
above absolute zero. Named after physicist Erwin

can exist in two states simultaneously, quantum

states required cooling quantum objects to nearly
absolute zero. However, a new study published
in the journal Science Advances shows that these
states were generated at a temperature of 1 .8
Kelvin, which remains cold but is notably warmer
than usual. This breakthrough could transform
quantum computing, potentially eliminating the
need for costly cooling systems. Entertainment
