Chad Orzel: Schrödinger's cat: A thought experiment in quantum mechanics (2014x119)

Date de diffusion: Oct 14, 2014

Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger, one of the founders of quantum mechanics, posed this famous question: If you put a cat in a sealed box with a device that has a 50% chance of killing the cat in the next hour, what will be the state of the cat when that time is up? Chad Orzel investigates this thought experiment. [Directed by Agota Vegso, narrated by Addison Anderson].
