“On the Hardness of Detecting Macroscopic Superpositions”; Aaronson, Atx xzzia & Susskind. https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.07450 (2020).

Theoretical study of a macroscopic superposition in terms of computational complexity, showing that detection of a macroscopic superposition is equally hard as a state swap on the superposed amplitudes.
