The story of Schrodinger’s cat is well known, and one of quantum theory’s most popular phrases on the world stage. You can find his cat on t-shirts, bumper stickers, internet memes and the like.

After escaping the Nazis by minutes and then getting smuggled through spy-infested Stockholm, the bomb bay of a British fighter jet might have been a relief to physicist Niels Bohr. His approach to ...

Schrodinger’s Cat is something that most of us are likely to have heard of at some point in our lives but how many of us actually know what it means? Well that is the subject of our little discussion ...

The relationship between quantum mechanics and classical physics has baffled scientists for decades. In the quantum world, particles can exist in multiple states at once—a phenomenon known as ...

An artist's conception of a quantum membrane that reflects huge almost all the light that hits it and is highly isolated from its surrounding environment. Such a device could provide a way to finally ...

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 ...

The Vienna-born Erwin Schrodinger had sent papers on many topics from the trenches during his sevice as an artillery officer in WW1 – as mentioned in my essay of 2 weeks ago. By the mid-1920s he had ...

Rather than trailing its customary rainbow, here Schrödinger's Nyan Cat leaves behind a never-ending quantum mechanics equation. Meanwhile, cat heads and cat skulls flicker in the background, ...

Neil Belton is a highly respected non-fiction editor who has worked at Random House and Granta, and now at Faber. He is the author of a biography of human rights activist Helen Bamber (The Good ...

Schrodinger's equation is usually treated as a postulate, and IMHO that's the best approach, rather than some kind of derivation based on chronologically earlier, but less general, principles and ...
