What does it feel like to be both alive and dead? That question irked and inspired Hungarian-American physicist Eugene Wigner in the 1960s. He was frustrated by the paradoxes arising from the vagaries ...
Erwin Schroedinger, a Nobel-winning physicist and quantum mechanics pioneer, developed a set of concepts that are fundamental to how we understand the microscopic world of atoms. Despite being a ...
Even if you are not a quantum physicist, you will most likely have heard of Schrödinger's famous cat. Erwin Schrödinger came up with the feline that can be alive and dead at the same time in a thought ...
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 ...
Physicists have coaxed clusters of thousands of atoms into a delicate quantum limbo, creating a record breaking version of Schrödinger’s famous cat that is both “here” and “there” at once. By pushing ...
