Yale: Predicting Schrodinger’s Cat
Yale: Predicting Schrodinger’s Cat Physicists can predict the jumps of Schrödinger’s cat (and finally save it) Yale researchers have figured out how to catch and save Schrödinger’s famous cat, the symbol of quantum superposition and unpredictability, by anticipating its jumps and acting in real time to save it from proverbial doom. In the process, they […]
