The theory of quantum mechanics has transformed daily life since being proposed a century ago, yet how it works remains a ...

But researchers still disagree widely on how best to describe the physical reality that lies behind the mathematics, as a ...

When a German physicist returned from a health retreat 100 years ago, his ideas sparked a debate about reality, and gave rise ...

It’s the weirdest thing: quantum theory works incredibly well in practice. It powers devices ranging from MRI machines to lasers and the very computer you’re reading this on. But even after 100 years, ...

Erwin Schrödinger was the only son of well-educated parents. His father owned an oil cloth factory and was an amateur painter and botanist. Erwin was taught at home, by tutors and parents, until ...

Google has celebrated the 126th birth anniversary of Erwin Schrödinger, the Nobel prize-winning Austrian quantum physicist, perhaps most famous for the mind experiment known as Schrödinger’s Cat.

Schrödinger settled in Ireland at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Dublin in 1940, where he would remain for 17 years. After his retirement in 1955, Schrödinger returned to Vienna.

In 1935, physicist Erwin Schrödinger proposed a thought experiment as a critique of the prevailing understanding of quantum mechanics at the time -- the Copenhagen interpretation.

But no one can know the feline’s fate until they look. This is the basic story of Schrödinger’s Cat, a thought experiment physicist Erwin Schrödinger first proposed 80 years ago today.
