'''Schrödinger's cat''' is a thought experiment that illustrates various paradoxes associated with the [[principle of superposition]] in [[quantum mechanics]], it was proposed by [[Erwin Schrödinger]] in 1935. Schrödinger's cat serves to demonstrate the apparent conflict between what quantum theory tells us is true about the nature and behavior of matter on the microscopic level and what we observe to be true about the nature and behavior of matter on the macroscopic level.
