Languages: English. Physicists have brought the well-known thought experiment of Schrödinger's cat to life in a breakthrough that could help weed out errors in future quantum computers.

One of the most famous quantum thought experiments is that of the "Schrödinger's cat"—a cat whose life or death depends on the decay of a radioactive atom. According to quantum mechanics ...

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 ...
