Art of Schrodingers Cat experiment
Schrodingers Cat. Computer artwork depicting the famous " Schrodingers Cat" thought experiment. The image shows a cat both dead (grey) and alive (ginger) inside a box on a starfield background. The orbitals of a radioactive isotope are superimposed over the cat. In this hypothetical situation, the cat is thought to be both alive and dead until observed. This is because a quantum event (the decay of a radioac- tive particle) is set up to trigger the release of a lethal poison from a vial (not seen here) that kills the cat. According to quantum physics, the unstable particle exists in an intermediate " probabilistic" state until it is observed

A2 (59.4 x 42cm) Poster Print
Introducing the Media Storehouse range of Poster Prints featuring the intriguing "Schrödinger's Cat" experiment by Science Photo Library. This thought-provoking image brilliantly illustrates the paradoxical nature of quantum mechanics, where a cat is depicted both alive (ginger) and dead (grey) until observed. Stimulate your workspace or living space with this captivating and intellectually stimulating poster print. Perfect for science enthusiasts, educators, and anyone intrigued by the mysteries of the universe. Order yours today and ponder the profound implications of quantum physics.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 59.4cm x 37.8cm (23.4" x 14.9")
Estimated Product Size is 59.4cm x 42cm (23.4" x 16.5")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with landscape (horizontal) orientation to match the source image.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork by Science Photo Library beautifully captures the essence of Schrödinger's Cat experiment. The image presents a thought-provoking visual representation of this famous quantum physics concept. Against a mesmerizing starfield background, we see a box containing both a dead (grey) and alive (ginger) cat. The artist skillfully superimposes the orbitals of a radioactive isotope over the feline, symbolizing the pivotal role played by quantum events in this hypothetical scenario. In Schrödinger's Cat experiment, an unstable particle triggers the release of lethal poison from an unseen vial when it decays. Until observed, however, the cat exists in an indeterminate "probabilistic" state according to quantum mechanics. This artwork serves as a reminder that reality can be far more complex than our everyday experiences suggest. It challenges us to contemplate how observation influences outcomes and raises profound questions about the nature of existence itself. Science Photo Library has masterfully brought together elements from physics and art to create an evocative depiction that sparks curiosity and invites contemplation. This print is not only visually striking but also serves as a gateway into exploring deeper concepts within quantum mechanics.
