The devil cat is in the experimental details ... *Path integral approach on Schrodinger's cat* Zinkoo Yun Department of Physics and Astronomy University of Victoria, Canada https://arxiv.org/abs/1310.8020 "the two conditional paths in Schrodinger’s cat experiment do not interfere with each other. So there is no phase effect between them thus no quantum superposition between |dead> and |alive>" ref: *Relation between the Schrödinger's equation and the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relation_between_Schr%C3%B6dinger%27s_equation_and_the_path_integral_formulation_of_quantum_mechanics @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
