In 1935, Austrian-born physicist Erwin Schrödinger described a thought experiment that magnified a glaring problem at the heart of quantum mechanics. To this day, the problem remains, summed up by ...

Lewis Carrol's tale summarizes the intuition behind the paradox of quantum superposition: in Schrödinger's famous thought experiment, a cat can be both alive and dead at the same time. Schrödinger's ...

The paradox of Schrödinger's cat - the feline that is, famously, both alive and dead until its box is opened - is the most widely known example of a recurrent problem in quantum mechanics: its ...

Question: Will we meet the goal of holding the rise of mean global temperature to below 2°C? Answer: Yes and no, simultaneously. Welcome to Schrödinger’s climate, a paradox in which commentary on ...

Folks trot Schrödinger’s cat out of its metaphorical box so often we forget that its alive/dead paradox was meant to mock what it now exemplifies. Perhaps incoherence is the fate of all arresting ...

Set in the laboratory of world-renowned rat-scientist Paradox, Schrodinger's Rat combines an experiment in quantum physics with labyrinth-like maze challenges. Working through all the elements of the ...

Quantum mechanics often has difficulty breaking through to the general public, which is where the importance of "Schrödinger's Cat" lies. The thought experiment captured the general imagination, with ...

Many physicists have attempted to explain the problem of quantum superposition, as exemplified by Schrödinger's cat. Now a French theoretical physicist proposes a novel possible solution, which ...
