Experiment makes Schrodinger’s cat choose—things can be real, or certain, but not both

9-26-2014

Experimenting within quantum theory is an extremely complex process, where common intuitions are regularly inverted within shifting reality. Over the years several quantum features and methods of their study have been identified. Now scientists have investigated a new set of assumptions and proposed a novel experiment, to test the consequences of making quantum theory more intuitive.

“While quantum theory is the science behind almost all of our technology, its disconnect with our everyday intuitions is still worrisome and actively researched,” says lead author Associate Professor Daniel Terno.

“How do you find your way in a reality which is shifting, where the opposites are allowed to coexist? Moreover, how do you conduct experiments in it? These are the questions that must be answered when dealing with the floating world of quantum mechanics.”

More wierdness.
