Erwin Schrödinger provides a new perspective that helps us navigate quantum mechanics. Erwin Schrödinger suggests that “incredibly small groups of atoms, much too small to display exact statistical ...

An improved technique has allowed researchers to create a system of eight entangled photons. Known as a Schrödinger cat state, a measurement on one of those photons indicates what the outcome of a ...

When news broke last year that Google’s quantum computer Sycamore had performed a calculation faster than the fastest supercomputers could (SN: 12/16/19), it was the first time many people had ever ...

Quantum entanglement, a bewildering phenomenon where particles become interconnected regardless of the distance separating them, challenges our fundamental understanding of reality. It has puzzled ...

Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935. It illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen ...

For physicists, Schrödinger's cat involves picturing a cat, in a box, with a vial of poison that can kill the cat if it opens. Over any given period there's a 50-50 chance the poison vial will open, ...

Albert Einstein wanted nothing to do with it: he mocked the strange concept of quantum entanglement as “spooky action at a distance.” But a hundred years on, Einstein’s bugbear could help create a ...
