  1. Dec 5, 2019 · Schrödinger's cat is one of the most famous thought experiments ever devised. He suggested that if quantum mechanical states are described as superpositions of multiple different states, what if this superposition was transferred to a macroscopic object, like a cat? Could it be both alive and dead?

  2. In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition. In the thought experiment, a hypothetical cat may be considered simultaneously both alive and dead, while it is unobserved in a closed box, as a result of its fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur.
