A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a manuscript for publication. Its centerpiece was an innocuous-looking equation ...

UNSW Sydney engineers have riffed on the famous Schrödinger's cat analogy to demonstrate a more efficient way to eliminate ...

Theoretical physicists have proposed a new solution to the Schrödinger's cat paradox, which may allow the theories of quantum mechanics and Einstein's relativity to live in better harmony. The bizarre ...

Exactly 100 years ago, famed Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger (yes, the cat guy) postulated his eponymous equation that explains how particles in quantum physics behave. A key component of quantum ...

MIT researchers have developed a classical physics-based formulation that can replicate solutions from the Schrödinger equation, a cornerstone of quantum mechanics. Demonstrated on quantum phenomena ...

Quantum states can only be prepared and observed under highly controlled conditions. A research team has now succeeded in creating so-called hot Schrodinger cat states in a superconducting microwave ...

One reason to test ever larger Schrödinger’s kittens is they might show us that quantum mechanics itself breaks down before ...

In this video, I explain why some reactions explode while others cool, exploring the root cause of chemical energy. I discuss the chemistry behind endothermic and exothermic reactions, which involves ...

The acceptance of molecules as 3D structures led to major advances in chemistry, with quantum mechanics providing the theoretical framework. Early successes, like modeling the neutral H2 molecule, ...

Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics that describes how matter and energy behave at atomic, molecular, and nanoscale dimensions, where particles can act like waves, energies become quantized, ...
