Lesson 1: Schrödinger's Cat (Simplified)
Schrödinger's cat, in a nutshell, is a cat in a box that might or might not be dead. But don't worry, it's not that complicated.
- Box = Container of Uncertainty
- Cat = Quantum Particle
- Maybe Dead Maybe Not = Wave Function
| ψ = | dead | alive |
| ψ^2 = | dead^2 + alive^2 |
Now, let's try some examples:
- Suppose the cat has a 50/50 chance of being dead. What's the probability of it being alive?
