Schrödinger’s cat as you’ve never seen it before

27 Sep 2018 Tushna Commissariat

Taken from the September 2018 issue of Physics World

Regular readers of the magazine will be familiar with “Lateral Thoughts” – Physics World’s long-running column of humorous or otherwise offbeat essays, puzzles, crosswords, quizzes and comics, all written by our readers – that appears on the back page each month. This month, siblings Eugenia Viti and Ivan Viti have crafted a comic that takes a wry look at the physics of Schrödinger’s cat. Eugenia is a cartoonist, illustrator and writer living in Chicago. Follow her on instagram (ayokdit) to see how much pizza she eats. It’s a lot. Ivan has a PhD in physics and is currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. He lives with his wife, two cats, two dogs and one goldfish. And once you’ve had your fill of cats, take a look at their other special comic, on the the theme of time – this one involves dogs.
