At Utah State University, researchers are using a radical idea known as the holographic principle to bridge the gap. By ...

Ever support a policy but feel uneasy about it? Here's my take on how psychology—and Schrödinger’s cat—can help you make sense of today’s political contradictions.

Quantum superposition states created at warmer temperatures, questioning the need for extreme cold in order to work with ...

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 ...

Exactly a century ago, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger laid the foundations of an equation that would mark the history ...

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 ...

Troubled times After an unhappy three years in Oxford starting in 1933, Erwin Schrödinger returned to Austria and is shown here in 1937 with a car belonging to German physicist Max von Laue. (Courtesy ...

Cat's miaow: Erwin Schrödinger's famous thought experiment posits that a cat can be in a superposition of "alive" and "dead" states. The quantum states named after this experiment are likewise a ...

Schrödinger's cat states exist in two distinct quantum states simultaneously and take their name from Erwin Schrödinger's famous thought experiment of a cat that is both simultaneously alive and ...

It doesn’t matter. You’re wrong either way—but you’re also right. This is the premise of Erwin Schrödinger’s 1935 thought experiment to describe quantum states, and now, researchers ...

What is a "critical Schrödinger cat code"? In 1935, physicist Erwin Schrödinger proposed a thought experiment as a critique of the prevailing understanding of quantum mechanics at the time ...

Schrödinger cat states are a fascinating phenomenon in quantum physics in which a quantum object exists simultaneously in two different states. In Erwin Schrödinger's thought experiment ...
