application of schrodinger cat?
Answers
Answer:
Schrödinger's cat is a famous hypothetical experiment designed to point out a flaw in the Copenhagen interpretation of superposition as it applies to quantum theory. ... A living cat is placed into a steel chamber along with a hammer, a vial of hydrocyanic acid and a very small amount of radioactive substance.
There YOU go !!

Answer:
According to this paradox,
For example :
A cat is placed in a box with a radioactive substance which if decays will cause the bottle of poison in the box to break , which will kill the cat.
Now we seal this box in such a way we can't see anything inside the box
We know if the poison bottle breaks, the cat dies but there is no way to find out if the bottle broke
So we can't know whether the cat is dead or alive
In this case we have to open the box to find out if it did break or not
So until we open the box , we need to assume that the cat is dead/alive.
Now let see this experiment in terms of an electron
Electrons move constantly, so they seem to be in a cloud , which is what an electron cloud by the way, so until we check where the electron really is , we need to assume that the electron is everywhere or you could say anywhere
This state is called superposition where we assume all possible outcomes occurring at once.
