Erwin Schroedinger, a Nobel-winning physicist and quantum mechanics pioneer, developed a set of concepts that are fundamental to how we understand the microscopic world of atoms. Despite being a ...

We got a quick overview of one of the most enduring paradox questions in quantum theory: Schrodinger’s cat. Is it alive? Is it dead? Both, or neither. It may just be sleeping. Austrian physicist Erwin ...

The famous thought experiment of Schrödinger’s Cat neatly sums up a complex quantum phenomenon, highlighting how bizarre that unseen world is by putting it in terms we can visualize. Now, scientists ...

A physicist that the answer to the long-running debate of quantum measurement lies in the phenomenon of nonlocality. Physicist Art Hobson has offered a solution, within the framework of standard ...

An artist's conception of a quantum membrane that reflects huge almost all the light that hits it and is highly isolated from its surrounding environment. Such a device could provide a way to finally ...

You’ve probably heard about Schrödinger’s cat, which famously is trapped in a box with a kill mechanism that is activated if a radioactive atom decays, releasing radiation. The act of looking in the ...

New Haven, Conn. - Yale researchers have figured out how to catch and save Schrödinger's famous cat, the symbol of quantum superposition and unpredictability, by anticipating its jumps and acting in ...

The world of quantum mechanics, where particles can be in two places at once or entangled with each other across vast distances, sounds spooky to us living in the macroscopic world of classical ...

One of the first times quantum mechanics entered popular culture, "Schrödinger's Cat" remains a puzzling thought experiment in which a poor cat's fate remains unknown inside a box. But scientists now ...

The Vienna-born Erwin Schrodinger had sent papers on many topics from the trenches during his sevice as an artillery officer in WW1 – as mentioned in my essay of 2 weeks ago. By the mid-1920s he had ...

Erwin Schrödinger was the only son of well-educated parents. His father owned an oil cloth factory and was an amateur painter and botanist. Erwin was taught at home, by tutors and parents, until he ...
