In physics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment in which a cat is trapped in a box with a particle that has a 50-50 chance of decaying. If the particle decays, the cat dies; otherwise, the cat ...

Schrödinger's cat,' a thought experiment in which a cat placed in a box is considered to be alive or dead, was proposed by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in the early 20th century.

Scientists have used the famed "Schrödinger's cat" thought experiment to come up with a way to remove errors from future quantum computers. The new method encodes quantum information onto an antimony ...

在不断发展的量子信息处理领域，研究人员不断寻求更高效和复杂的量子系统。最近在《Nature Physics》上发表的一项题为《Schrödinger cat states of a nuclear spin qudit in ...

"No one has ever seen an actual cat in a state of being both dead and alive at the same time, but people use the Schrödinger's cat metaphor to describe a superposition of quantum states that ...

Stephen has a science degree with a major in physics, an arts degree with majors in English Literature and History and Philosophy of Science and a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication.

Researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have used the famous Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment in the real world to find better ways of correcting errors that accumulate ...

Erwin Schrödinger used the analogy of a cat in a box to illustrate the fragile nature of quantum states, which collapse upon observation. But atoms, like cats, can escape. Researchers at Sandia ...
