- (uncountable) Synonym of chubby bunny (“competitive eating game”)
- (quantum mechanics, countable) Quantum entanglemant that occurs in theory but which seldom (or never) arises because of other physical restrictions.
- 2005, Jacob Dunningham, Alexander Rau, Keith Burnett, “From pedigree cats to fluffy-bunnies”, in Science, volume 307, number 5711, American Association for the Advancement of Science, , page 874:
- The idea of fluffy-bunnies developed from theoretical work undertaken to study the interference fringes that are seen when two Bose-Einstein condensates spatially overlap (20).

- Because of this a whole different class of states called the fluffy-bunnies arises which are robust entanglements due to the measurements and interactions between particles.
- 2020, Benjamin Morris, Benjamin Yadin, Matteo Fadel, Tilman Zibold, Philipp Treutlein, Gerardo Adesso, “Entanglement between identical particles is a useful and consistent resource”, in Physical Review X[3], volume 10, number 4, APS, :
- Note, however, a subtlety: in general, this inequality is strict (apart from when both sides are zero), due to a necessary reduction in entanglement after applying the dephasing operation ΦA ⊗ ΦB and removing the fluffy bunny entanglement.
- (countable) Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see fluffy, bunny.
