Physicists trap metal clumps in mind-bending Schrödinger’s cat quantum state
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 ...

Paul explains Schrödinger’s cat
In physics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment in which a cat is trapped in a box with a particle that has a 50-50 ...
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 by ...
Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...
The universe is a strange, beautiful place—rich with possibilities and governed by the odd rules of quantum mechanics. One of the most mind-bending ideas from this realm is the many-worlds ...
"No one has ever seen an actual cat in a state of being both dead and alive at the same time, but people use the Schrödinger's cat metaphor to describe a superposition of quantum states that differ by ...
Hans von Baeyer says that we all can stop worrying about Schrödinger’s Cat. Science’s most famous imaginary feline may indeed be dead—or perhaps it’s alive. But it is certainly not both. Von Baeyer ...
