Physicists have created a Schrödinger's cat state at unusually hot temperatures, and it could be a major step toward the development of practical quantum computers. Schrödinger's cat states exist in ...

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 ...

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 ...

A rewarding book that offers a cogent look at the science’s history and the second quantum revolution that’s under way ...

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 ...

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, until he ...
