Quantum 101 Episode 4: Superposition Explained | Schrödinger's Cat
If you've heard anything about quantum mechanics, you've probably heard of Schrödinger's cat. It's a famous thought experiment (*not a real experiment*) in which a cat is said to be both alive and dead at the same time.
It's in a quantum superposition. But what does that really mean? This video discusses what quantum superposition really is. And if this bizarre thought experiment relates to the real world at all. The answer is yes… and no.
