Quantum State Created In Largest Object Yet 265

SpuriousLogic writes "A team of researchers have created a 'quantum state' in an object billions of times larger than ever before. From the article: 'Such states, in which an object is effectively in two places at once, have until now only been accomplished with single particles, atoms and molecules. In this experiment, published in the journal Nature, scientists produced a quantum state in an object billions of times larger than previous tests. The team says the result could have significant implications in quantum computing.'"

modernphysics writes: "Canada's non-profit and independent Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics (PI) is now providing a free, in-class, educational resource for high school science teachers to help guide students through interesting topics in modern physics. The first module on "The Mystery of Dark Matter" can be viewed online and features a 25-minute video, teacher's guide with hands-on demonstrations, plus student activity sheets in word format that can be edited to suit individual classes. This resource helps fulfill the number one request from hundreds of high school teachers who attend the popular EinsteinPlus Workshops on Modern Physics each summer — to receive enrichment materials for grade 11 and 12 level students in a flexible, comprehensive and easy to use format that make abstract ideas visual and shares the joys of research and discovery. You can forward this information to educators and view the entire resource online by utilizing the following link: http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/News/In_The_Media/Perimeter_Explorations_Launch/"
