Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger, one of the founders of quantum mechanics, famously asked the question: If you put a cat in a sealed box with a device that has a 50% chance of killing the cat within an hour , what will be the state of the cat when this time is up? Chad Orzel investigates this thought experiment.
