The quantum superposition principle has been tested on a scale as never before in a new study. Hot, complex molecules composed of nearly two thousand atoms were brought into a quantum superposition and made to interfere. By confirming this phenomenon -- 'the heart of quantum mechanics', in Richard Feynman's words -- on a new mass scale, improved constraints on alternative theories to quantum mechanics have been placed.
