Interesting aside about Schrödinger: his notorious thought experiment, which he first devised in an epistolary exchange with Einstein, was meant not to suggest that the cat is actually in a superposition before the the box is opened, but that the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics had absurd implications for macroscopic objects, because it was theoretically unlikely, but not strictly impossible, for an entangled state to lead to felis indeterminus.
Of course as someone who works in a industry that would be glad to get a few dozen elementary particles to avoid decohering for a few nanoseconds, supercat’s rather academic. But it’s the thought that counts!
