With the example of a Stern-Gerlach measurement on a spin-1/2 atom, we show that a superposition of both paths may be observed compatibly with properties attributed to state collapse - for example, the singleness (or mutual exclusivity) of…

We propose a contextual cavity/circuit QED analogue and extension of the Stern-Gerlach experiment, where the pseudo-spin of a two-state `atomic' transition plays the role of the ``spin'', while the resonant field driving the transition…
