S7832: Is the Cat Alive or Dead? An Introduction to Quantum Mechanics! in Splash Spring 2023 (May. 20 - 21, 2023)
How can a cat be both dead and alive at the same time? Though Schrodinger's cat-in-the-box experiment is seemingly unfounded, it is rooted in the fascinating field of quantum mechanics, which explores the universe at both atomic and subatomic levels. Come learn about the intricacies of quantum measurement, the probabilistic nature of particles, and more as we take a deeper dive into the macroscopic (and freaky!) physics encapsulated by Schrodinger's cat, which also has incredibly enriching ties to chemistry. Be prepared to have your mind blown!
