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

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
