Interference of macroscopic superpositions

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v5

Abstract

We propose a simple experimental procedure based on the Elitzur-Vaidman scheme to test the persistence of macroscopic superpositions. We conjecture that its implementation will reveal the persistence of superpositions of macroscopic objects in the absence of a direct act of observation.
