Psy-Kosh: It is an awesome experiment. Here are links to Bouwmeester’s home page , the original proposal, and the latest update on cooling the cantilever.(Bouwmeester has perhaps the most annoying web interface of any serious scientist. Click in the upper left on “research” and then the lower right on “macroscopic quantum superposition”. Also, the last article appeared in nature and may not be accessible without a subscription.)
Obviously, this is a very hard experiment and success is not assured.
Also, you might be interested to know that at least one other group, Jack Harris’s at Yale, is doing similar work.
