No, Schrödinger’s cat is not alive and dead at the same time

The weird paradox of Schrödinger’s cat has found a lasting popularity. What does it mean for the future of quantum physics?

Schrödinger's cat states constitute a fascinating phenomenon of quantum physics in which a quantum object exists simultaneously in two different states. In the imaginary experiment described by Erwin Schrödinger, this gives rise to a cat that is alive and dead at the same time. Previous experiments have focused on the creation of these states by cooling a quantum object to its fundamental level, the least energy possible. Normally, quantum super…
