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 ...

The team have pushed the boundaries of quantum mechanics beyond what some thought possible. Now they want to go even further ...

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 ...

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 ...

The thought experiment has yet to be resolved, but researchers are still seeking to explain the fate of the cat in the box. Here's how their work may help to explain the building blocks of the ...

Physicists in China, Austria and Germany claim to have created the largest ever photonic "Schroedinger cat", a popularized term given to entangled particles that are in a superposition of two quantum ...
