2 unusual facts about Schrödinger's cat


Cavity opto-mechanics

One may envision optomechanical structures to allow the realization of Schrödinger's cat.

Schrödinger's paradox

Schrödinger's cat, a thought experiment relating to quantum physics


Bob Godfrey

He is probably best known for the children's cartoon series Roobarb (1974-2006), Noah and Nelly in... SkylArk (1976-77) and Henry's Cat (1983-95) and for the Trio chocolate biscuit advertisements shown in the UK during the early 1980s.

Culpa Innata

The game, according to the developer, was inspired by Alev Alatlı's novel Schrödinger's Cat.

Damien Broderick

His commissioned drama Schrödinger's Dog, first broadcast in 1995, was Australia's entry in the Prix Italia; and his novella adaptation of the radio play, published the following year, was selected for Gardner Dozois' Year's Best Science Fiction collection for that year.

Erwin Schrödinger Prize

The Erwin Schrödinger Prize (German: Erwin Schrödinger-Preis) is an annual award presented by the Austrian Academy of Sciences for lifetime achievement by Austrians in the fields of mathematics and natural sciences.

Hydrogen atom

The solution of the Schrödinger equation (wave equations) for the hydrogen atom uses the fact that the Coulomb potential produced by the nucleus is isotropic (it is radially symmetric in space and only depends on the distance to the nucleus).

Ist das Ihr Fahrrad, Mr. O'Brien?

In the play, a number of writers, historic, literary or public figures, and scientists are mentioned to illustrate O’Nolan’s colorful and over-populated universe, such as Marcel Proust, Oscar Wilde, Graham Greene, James Joyce, Fionn mac Cumhaill, Harry Rowohlt, Homer, Jonathan Swift, George Bernhard Shaw, the Marx Brothers, Brendan Behan, Éamon de Valera, Karl Kraus, Sherlock Holmes, and Erwin Schrödinger.

Mill Mountain Zoo

Recent additions are red wolves, Cinereous Vultures, a Canadian lynx, four Asian short clawed otters, and pallas's cats (will be out once an exhibit is built).

Mobius Dick

Interweaving tales re-write the historical stories of Robert Schumann's stay in similar clinic in Endenich and Schrödinger's visit to the Alpine sanatorium of Arosa, both of which echo the situation in Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain.

Modern searches for Lorentz violation

In the Futurama episode "Law and Oracle" (2011), Erwin Schrödinger is pulled over by cops for violating Lorentz invariance, by going 15 miles per hour over the speed of light.

Pedicularis furbishiae

In Robert Anton Wilson's 1980's Schrödinger's Cat trilogy novels, set in a parallel universe, the president of the United States, modeled at least in part after Ralph Nader, is named Furbish Lousewart V.

Pseudopotential

The pseudopotential is an attempt to replace the complicated effects of the motion of the core (i.e. non-valence) electrons of an atom and its nucleus with an effective potential, or pseudopotential, so that the Schrödinger equation contains a modified effective potential term instead of the Coulombic potential term for core electrons normally found in the Schrödinger equation.

Ricicles

Ricicles' mascot is the astronaut 'Captain Rik', who replaced Henry's Cat in the 1980s, and Noddy in the 1960s.

Schroeder's Cat

They released a self-titled four-track EP in 1998 on LA label Emperor Norton Records owned by California oil heir Peter Getty, the grandson of oil tycoon J. Paul Getty, where their label mates included Ladytron and the soundtracks to the Sofia Coppola films The Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation.

The Rabbi's Cat

Pierre Vavasseur of Le Parisien gave the film the top rating of three stars and compared the impression it left to that of Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi.

The Ship's Cat

Written by Jock Brandis who participated in the effort to write the fictional account decades later.

The Whispering Land

He collects animals by purchasing pets from locals in the town he is based near initially, including a red-fronted Tucuman amazon named Blanco, yellow-fronted amazon parrots, grey-necked guans an armadillo and a Geoffroy's cat kitten.

Vallis Schrödinger

The valley was named after the crater Schrödinger, which itself is named for Erwin Schrödinger.

What Is Life?

The book was based on a course of public lectures delivered by Schrödinger in February 1943, under the auspices of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies at Trinity College, Dublin.

and independently, Francis Crick, co-discoverers of the structure of DNA, credited Schrödinger's book with presenting an early theoretical description of how the storage of genetic information would work, and each respectively acknowledged the book as a source of inspiration for their initial researches.

Although the existence of DNA had been known since 1869, its role in reproduction and its helical shape were still unknown at the time of Schrödinger's lecture.

Wigner–Eckart theorem

The name derives from physicists Eugene Wigner and Carl Eckart who developed the formalism as a link between the symmetry transformation groups of space (applied to the Schrödinger equations) and the laws of conservation of energy, momentum, and angular momentum.
