Schrodinger's cat When Einstein and two co-authors published their famous rebuttal of the Copenhagen interpretation in 1935, fellow Copenhagen critic Erwin Schrodinger wrote to him in support.

A new imaging technique, which captured frozen lithium atoms transforming into quantum waves, could be used to probe some of the most poorly understood aspects of the quantum world.

The Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger laid out a famous thought experiment, involving a cat that’s sealed in a steel chamber with a small amount of a radioactive substance. If one of the ...

What happens when a quantum physicist is frustrated by the limitations of quantum mechanics when trying to study densely packed atoms? At EPFL, you get a metamaterial, an engineered material that ...

Schrödinger's cat is a seemingly paradoxical thought experiment devised by Erwin Schrödinger that attempts to illustrate the incompleteness of an early interpretation of quantum mechanics when ...

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 ...

Schrödinger’s Cat Experiment and the Conundrum That Rules Modern Physics Why Schrödinger (figuratively speaking) put his cat in the box — and why it may never get out.

Quantum states can only be prepared and observed under highly controlled conditions. A research team from Innsbruck, Austria, has now succeeded in creating so-called hot Schrödinger cat states in ...

Atoms are the building blocks of matter and were created after the Big Bang. They are the smallest unit of an element that still retains its properties.
