Curator-led tour of Inside Boxes with Zhangbolong Liu and Sirui Zhang followed by a conversation about Schrodinger's Cat's history and its influence on the development process of physics with Dr. Zhichen Zhao.
In 1935, an Austrian physicist Erwin Schrodinger, after extensive correspondence with Albert Einstein, proposed what is now called the Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment. This experiment has completely changed what people had known about classic physics and led into a new era known as quantum physics.
Nearly 80 years after this experiment, we still under the influence of its concept. And this concept is also no longer constrained in area of physics but goes into popular culture. This panel explored the legacy of the experiment and how people have employed the concept to conduct the experiment, to produce cultural productions, to misunderstand scientific research.
