Because the atom's decay controls the door, the door controls the food, and the food determines whether the cat lives or dies, the cat itself, then, must be in a superposition of quantum states.

Schrödinger began to think about explaining the movement of an electron in an atom as a wave. By 1926 he published his work, providing a theoretical basis for the atomic model that Niels Bohr had ...

Errors in quantum computers are an obstacle for their widespread use. But a team of scientists say that, by using an antimony ...

Schrodinger's cat. When Einstein and two co-authors published their famous rebuttal of the Copenhagen interpretation in 1935, ... He believed that the atom bomb would alter the world forever, ...

Antimony atom cat. The cat state in the UNSW study is an atom of antimony, which is a heavy atom with a large nuclear spin. The high spin value implies that, instead of just pointing up and down (that ...

This means that, if the nuclear spin is used to encode data, an antimony atom can store eight different values—"0," "1" and six other stops in between.

Niels Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom—first published 100 years ago and commemorated in a special issue of Nature—is simple, elegant, revolutionary, and wrong. Well, "wrong" isn't exactly ...

Quantum mechanics including Schrodinger and Dirac’s equations are used to describe the atom model. However, the basic assumption assuming electron energy can be described by E=h’w is wrong. If ...

Schrodinger wrote how in this quantum system, the cat is alive and dead at the same time, "mixed or spread out in equal parts." Ridiculous though it was, the Copenhagen interpretation agreed.

Errors in quantum computers are an obstacle for their widespread use. But a team of scientists say that, by using an antimony atom and the Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment, they could have ...
