Physicists have replicated the famous Schrödinger's cat experiment at hotter temperatures than ever before. The breakthrough is a small but significant step toward quantum computers that can work ...

In 1935, Austrian-born physicist Erwin Schrödinger described a thought experiment that magnified a glaring problem at the heart of quantum mechanics. To this day, the problem remains, summed up ...

Schrödinger's cat is a seemingly paradoxical thought experiment devised by Erwin Schrödinger that attempts to illustrate the incompleteness of an early interpretation of quantum mechanics when ...

Troubled times After an unhappy three years in Oxford starting in 1933, Erwin Schrödinger returned to Austria and is shown here in 1937 with a car belonging to German physicist Max von Laue. (Courtesy ...

The story of Schrödinger's Tree is a real-world quantum physics experiment and a lesson about not coming to conclusions when faced with the ambiguous nature of time.

Erwin Schroedinger proposed a new atomic model that dispensed with orbits in favor of energy levels. It still shares some similar concepts with the Bohr model.

A new imaging technique, which captured frozen lithium atoms transforming into quantum waves, could be used to probe some of the most poorly understood aspects of the quantum world.

In February 1943, Erwin Schrödinger, quantum physicist and Nobel laureate (sharing his prize with Paul Dirac and Werner Heisenberg), gave a series of lectures at Trinity College Dublin, which later ...

Physicists have placed part of a sapphire crystal into a quantum superposition, making it the heaviest object to show quantum effects, in a new take on Erwin Schrödinger's famous cat experiment.
