Abstract
We propose an experimentally accessible, objective measure for the macroscopicity of superposition states in mechanical quantum systems. Based on the observable consequences of a minimal, macrorealist extension of quantum mechanics, it allows one to quantify the degree of macroscopicity achieved in different experiments.Year: 2013 PMID: 23679586 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.160403
