Abstract

Erwin Schrödinger is famous for presenting his wave equation of motion that jump-started quantum mechanics. His disenchantment with the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics led him to unveil the Schrödinger's cat paradox, which did not get much attention for nearly half a century. In the meantime, disappointment with quantum mechanics turned his interest to biology facilitating, albeit in a peripheral way, the revelation of the structure of DNA. Interest in Schrödinger's cat has recently come roaring back making its appearance conspicuously in numerous scientific articles. From the arguments presented here, it would appear that the legendary Schrödinger's cat is here to stay, symbolizing a profound truth that quantum reality exists at all scales; but we do not observe it in our daily macroscopic world as it is masked for all practical purposes, most likely by environmental decoherence with irreversible thermal effects.Quanta 2017; 6: 70–80.

Highlights

  • Recently come roaring back making its appearance It would be rather fascinating to follow the trail of this conspicuously in numerous scientific articles

  • Macroscopic world as it is masked for all practical purposes, most likely by environmental decoherence with irreversible thermal effects

  • A celebrated status in both scientific and public spheres. In It was Albert Einstein who recognized the reality of addition to its surprisingly frequent mention in quantum a quantum and suggested that radiation in space physics articles, the quantum computation community consists of discrete quanta [10]

Summary

Since the laws of physics are the same in all inertial

It is quite general and used throughthe particle, zero or otherwise This relationship for a out quantum mechanics, for everything from the Dirac massive particle is the celebrated de Broglie hypothesis. Which is the velocity of the “particle” represented by the For a single non-relativistic particle of mass m, its energy wave packet. This is the time-independent Schrodinger equation for In the quantum domain as well, we see chargeless bosons a single non-relativistic particle of energy E. It would be tempting to think, as Schrodinger originally did, that the wave function represented a smeared out mendation and the immense success of the wave equation, charge distribution of the electron. Schrodinger equation became the benchmark for wave volving the scattering of electrons, Max Born realized mechanics at the time bestowing its inventor an instant renown. After the spectacular success of the time independent wave equation, Schrodinger focused his attention on developing a time dependent equation for treating problems in which the quantum system changes with time as in scattering problems
