A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a ...

A record-breaking experiment shows that a cluster of thousands of atoms can act like a wave as well as a particle ...

Physicists have pushed one of the strangest ideas in science into new territory, holding tiny clumps of metal in a quantum limbo that recalls Schrödinger’s famous cat. Instead of a single atom or ...

Picture a cat. I’m assuming you’re imagining a live one. 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 ...

The famous thought experiment of Schrödinger’s Cat neatly sums up a complex quantum phenomenon, highlighting how bizarre that unseen world is by putting it in terms we can visualize. Now, scientists ...

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 a ...

Drawing from Schrodinger's cat thought experiment, scientists have built a 'critical cat code' qubit that uses bosons to store and process information in a way that is more reliable and resistant to ...

Researchers from the University of Vienna and the University of Duisburg-Essen showed that metallic ...

In 1935, quantum physicist Erwin Schrödinger suggested a controversial thought experiment to highlight the paradoxical nature of time in quantum mechanics. 1 In the experiment, he supposed that ...

Quantum computing uses the principles of quantum mechanics to encode and elaborate data, meaning that it could one day solve computational problems that are intractable with current computers. While ...
