From its very beginning quantum theory has been revealing extraordinary and counter-intuitive phenomena, such as wave-particle duality, Schr\"odinger cats and quantum non-locality. In the study of quantum measurement, a process involving…

One of the common conceptions of nature, typically derived from the experiences with classical systems, is that attributes of the matter coexist with the substance. In the quantum regime, however, the quantum particle itself and its…

It is shown that a classical experiment using an ordinary cat can reproduce the same results and it is argued that the quantum nature of the phenomenon could be revealed instead by making an experiment that detects cross-moments.

We report an experimental realization of the quantum paradox of the separation of a single photon from one of its properties (the so-called "quantum Cheshire cat"). We use a modified Sagnac interferometer with displaced paths to produce…

In this paper we present a quantum Cheshire Cat. In a pre- and post-selected experiment we find the Cat in one place, and its grin in another. The Cat is a photon, while the grin is its circular polarization.

In a recent work, Aharonov et al. suggested that a photon could be separated from its polarization in an experiment involving pre- and post-selection [New J. Phys 15, 113015 (2013)]. They named the effect 'quantum Cheshire Cat', in a…

The paradoxical phenomenon of the quantum Cheshire Cat (qCC) refers to situations where different properties of a particle appear to be localised in different paths of an interferometer and therefore spatially separated. This observation is…

In a very recent work [arXiv:2004.07451], Kim et al claimed to have made the first genuine experimental observation of the Quantum Cheshire Cat effect. We dispute this claim on the ground that the setup employed is not adequate for making…

It is shown that discrete-event simulation accurately reproduces the experimental data of a single-neutron interferometry experiment [T. Denkmayr {\sl et al.}, Nat. Commun. 5, 4492 (2014)] and provides a logically consistent, paradox-free,…

A common-sense perception of a physical system is that it is inseparable from its physical properties. The notion of Quantum Cheshire Cat challenges this, as far as quantum systems are concerned. It shows that a quantum system can be…

The so-called quantum Cheshire cat is a phenomenon in which an object, identified with a "cat", is dissociated from a property of the object, identified with the "grin" of the cat. We propose a thought experiment, similar to this…

The so-called quantum Cheshire Cat is a scenario where a photon, identified with a cat, and a component of its polarization, identified with the grin of that cat, are separated. We observe that the same techniques can be used to separate…

In an recent work with the title "Asking Photons Where They Have Been", Danan et al. experimentally demonstrate an intriguing behavior of photons in an interferometer [Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 240402 (2013)]. In their words: "The photons tell…

In a July 2014 Nature Communications paper, Denkmayr et al. claim to have instantiated the so-called quantum Cheshire Cat experiment using neutron interferometry. Crucial to this claim are the weak values which must imply the quantum…

The quantum Cheshire cat is an effect demonstrated within the framework of weak measurement aided with post-selection scenario where the property (say, grin) of a quantum particle (the cat) can be found in a spatially separated location…

The quantum Cheshire cat (QCC) thought experiment proposes that a quantum object's property (\textit{e.g} polarisation, spin, etc.) can be separated from its physical body or \textit{disembodied}. This conclusion arose from an argument that…

The Quantum Cheshire Cat experiment showed that when weak measurements are performed on pre- and post-selected system, the counterintuitive result has been obtained that a neutron is measured to be in one place without its spin, and its…

The Quantum Cheshire Cat (QCC) is an effect introduced recently within the Weak Measurements framework. The main feature of the QCC effect is that a property of a quantum particle appears to be spatially separated from its position. The…

The quantum Cheshire cat effect is an important phenomenon in quantum mechanics that reveals the separability of physical properties from their carriers. This effect transcends the classical framework whose attributes must be inherently…

We analyse the quantum Cheshire cat using contextuality theory, to see if this can tell us anything about how best to interpret this paradox. We show that this scenario can be analysed using the relation between three different…
