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.

2019年12月5日 · 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?

2025年1月15日 · Schrödinger’s cat, thought experiment designed by theoretical physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935 as an objection to the reigning Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics.

2020年2月28日 · The thought experiment known as Schrödinger's cat is one of the most famous, and misunderstood, concepts in quantum mechanics. By thinking deeply about it, researchers have come to...

2019年6月6日 · Understand the Schrodinger's cat thought experiment and how it describes the problems with extending quantum physics into the macroscopic realm.

Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment about quantum physics. Erwin Schrödinger suggested it in 1935, in reaction to the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics.

2021年5月5日 · Long before cats conquered the internet, two of the greatest physicists of our time — Erwin Schrödinger and Albert Einstein — devised what almost seems like an evil thought experiment. It goes something like this: You have a cat in a completely sealed box impervious to any observation from outside.

2024年10月10日 · Schrödinger's Cat, a thought-provoking concept in quantum mechanics, was introduced by Erwin Schrödinger in 1935 to illustrate the paradoxical nature of superposition and wave function collapse.

The Schrödinger's cat thought experiment demonstrates the strange nature of quantum superposition. A cat is placed in a box with a vial of poison, which will be automatically …

Schrödinger’s thought experiment probed how this plays out when a quantum object is coupled to something more familiar. He imagined a box containing a radioactive atom, a vial of poison and a cat.
