• Abstract: Schr\"{o}dinger's Cat was proposed by Erwin Schr\"{o}dinger, the infamous thought experiment in which a cat in a box was both alive and dead simultaneously illustrating a quantum phenomenon known as superposition. In 2013, Yakir Aharonov and his co-authors conceived of an experiment suggesting that a particle can be separated from its property. They called the effect a "Quantum Cheshire Cat" that has been experimentally verified in the succeeding year. The name Quantum Cheshire Cat is inspired from a fanciful character of the Cheshire Cat in "\textit{Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"} a novel written by Lewis Carroll where the grin of cat is found without a cat. An important question arises here. Once the grin of the Cheshire Cat is separated, is there any correlation still left between the grin and the cat? To answer the question we propose a thought experiment in which Quantum Cheshire Cat is also a Schr\"{o}dinger's Cat existing in superposition of happy(smiling) and sad(frowning) states. We name this cat as a "Quantum Mona Lisa Cat" for the reason that historically it is presumed that Mona Lisa's portrait contains both characteristics of happy(smiling) and sad(frowning) and either is observed depending upon the mood of the observer. We show that property separated from particle behave as "Quantum Mona Lisa Cat".

  We study a faithful translation of a two-player quantum Morra game, which builds on previous work by including the classical game as a special case. We propose a natural deformation of the game in the quantum regime in which Alice has a winning advantage, breaking the balance of the classical game. We discuss potential applications of the quantum Morra game to the study of quantum information and communication.

• A no-go result on observing quantum superpositions [0.0]
  We give a general proof showing that once irreversible processes are involved, a class of projective measurements is impossible. Applying this no-go result to the Schroedinger's cat paradox implies that if something is claimed to be a real Schroedinger's cat, there will be no measurable difference between it and a trivial classical mixture of ordinary cats.

• Simple Tests of Quantumness Also Certify Qubits [69.96668065491183]
  A test of quantumness is a protocol that allows a classical verifier to certify (only) that a prover is not classical. We show that tests of quantumness that follow a certain template, which captures recent proposals such as (Kalai et al., 2022) can in fact do much more. Namely, the same protocols can be used for certifying a qubit, a building-block that stands at the heart of applications such as certifiable randomness and classical delegation of quantum computation.
