Quantum Mechanicus 101: Schrödinger's Simplified Examples

Schrödinger's Cat in a Box (Super Simple)

Imagine a cat in a box. Not just any cat, but a super-simplified cat with a single button that says "Meow".

Now, imagine the cat's existence is dependent on your mouse click. If you click the button, the cat will meow. If you don't, the cat will not meow.

Sound like science, right?

Schrödinger's Cat in a Box 2.0: Enhanced Edition

Same cat in a box, but now with two buttons: "Meow" and "Purr"!

Which one do you click, and the cat will respond accordingly. Or will it just sit there, silently judging you?

Try it out and find out!

Advanced Schrödinger's Cat in a Box 3.0: Multi-Button, Multi-Outcome Edition

Now, with three buttons and three possible outcomes! Meow, Purr, and... nothing. Just, nothing.

Can you figure out the quantum probabilities behind this one?

Good luck with that.
