Title: Schrödinger's cat
Post by: Roland Stowasser on September 22, 2024, 02:45:23 PM
I saw the picture. The cat is alive - what joy! The Simpsons are happy.
But is the cat really alive? Some say yes, some say no, some say something completely different.
These seem to be interpretations of quantum mechanics.

How does Schrödinger's cat walk?

There is one in Schrödinger's thought experiment Cat and an unstable atomic nucleus in a closed box.
The atomic nucleus decays with a certain probability within a certain period of time. The decay dissolves by means of A Geiger counter causes the release of poison gas, which kills the cat.

the cat has a state of superposition.
she is alive and dead until you make a closer observation and look into the box.

original experiment shows a wave function  Or a lightpules or a point shaped electron hits a fluorescent screen. but you cant say where the lightwave electron exactly hits the screen

in same Case both status of superposition  until you took an
exact measure where the lightpulsr or lightwave exists at that moment
