Pulsed Quantum Optomechanics (IMAGE) University of Vienna Caption Pulsed quantum optomechanics can directly probe quantum mechanical behavior, which is seen as the central rippling in this representation of a Schrödinger-cat state (left). Under constant observation these quantum features are washed out (right). Credit VCQ/University of Vienna Usage Restrictions The image may only be used with appropriate caption or credit.
