Well, just when you think you've 'sought of' gotten your head around
some of the theories the forever-learning Quantum Physicists have come
up with, they've found something else to make your mind scramble!!
Schrödinger’s cat can’t seem to catch a break. The unfortunate imaginary
feline is famous for being alive and dead at the same time, as long as it
remains hidden inside a box.
Scientists have now gone one step further, splitting one living-dead cat
between two boxes.
In a real laboratory version of the experiment, microwaves inside a
superconducting aluminum cavity take the place of the cat.
Inside the specially designed cavity, the microwaves’ electric fields can
be pointing in two opposing directions at the same time
— just as Schrödinger’s cat can be simultaneously alive and dead.
These states are known as “cat states.” Now, physicists have created such
cat states in two linked cavities, thereby splitting the cat into two “boxes”
at once.
I'm getting a dog.
