A quick look at Schrödinger’s cat and the famous thought experiment behind it.

One of the hallmark predictions of quantum mechanics is that particles behave unpredictably—but a new experiment seems to complicate some of those core ideas. Researchers were able to predict a kind ...

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 ...

Quantum computing uses the principles of quantum mechanics to encode and elaborate data, meaning that it could one day solve computational problems that are intractable with current computers. While ...
