The MSU physics department, whose status in the field was acknowledged in Don’t Look Up almost 50 years later, was not in the practice of employing cats, and had no F.D.C. Willard on the books.

This would enable the creation of quantum-correlated spin states over macroscopic distance, an as yet unexplored version of Schrödinger's cat.

"No one has ever seen an actual cat in a state of being both dead and ... published in the journal Nature Physics. For this research paper, Prof. Morello's team used an atom of antimony, which ...
