A lost Schrödinger manuscript reveals a twist in quantum physics

Automated excerpt

For more than 80 years, a manuscript penned by one of the founders of quantum physics has been gathering dust in an Austrian library. Now brought to light by physics historian Flavio Del Santo of the University of Geneva, the three-page document is the very soul of brevity – but on it is scrawled a long-lost contribution to one of the most contentious debates in quantum mechanics. And it offers a surprising insight into what Erwin Schrödinger himself believed about the nature of reality.
