As long as we don't look, a quantum particle can be in a superposition of two states at once. In Schrödinger's example, a cat in a closed box could be alive and dead at the same time, until we check.

Today, physicists are still asking themselves whether quantum mechanics needs hypercomplex numbers. FAU researchers Ece Ipek ...

The sounds of outer space are being beamed into central London in a wacky, extraterrestrial art installation celebrating the city's nightlife.

Vanishing atoms can ruin quantum calculations. Scientists have a new plan to locate leaks. Quantum computers face a major ...

What an incredible judicial duel. The erstwhile head of the federal Office of Special Counsel, Hampton Dellinger, increasingly resembles, professionally speaking, Schrödinger’s Cat. Does he have his ...

named after the dead/alive Schrodinger cat of Erwin Schrodinger’s famous thought experiment. Cat qubits use the quantum superposition of classical-like states of well-defined amplitude and phase to ...

Just silence.” Across Israel, people have been trapped in a version of the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment, holding in mind both the possibility that hostages are alive and that they are dead.
