Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China claim to have observed atoms in a state of quantum superposition for 23 minutes .

Superposition is a phenomenon where an object at a given moment has the potential to occupy multiple different states, but the object’s actual state is unknown.

Being able to keep quantum states stable for such a long time could help make quantum devices more durable.
