Of course, the device was only theoretical. Schrödinger developed the scenario in a discussion with Einstein in response to misinterpretations of quantum mechanics at the time. It was a way to ...

Schrodinger's mandate. By ALEXANDER BURNS. 07/03/2012 07:57 AM EDT. The Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger laid out a famous thought experiment, ... If none of the atoms decays, ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 physic… ...

The image shows sharp red dots of fluorescing atoms transforming into fuzzy blobs of wave packets and is a stunning demonstration of the idea that atoms exist as both particles and waves — one ...
