Scientists Rule Out a 60-Year-Old Theory on Quantum Measurement

Original: What Kills Schrödinger’s Cat? Scientists Just Ruled Out a 60-Year-Old Theory https:// scitechdaily.com/what-kills-sc hro

Researchers report that they have ruled out a decades-old theory about what causes quantum superpositions to collapse, the famous paradox illustrated by Schrödinger's cat. The finding suggests a long-standing explanation for how quantum states become classical reality does not hold, prompting discussion among physicists and science followers about what the result means for interpretations of quantum mechanics.

Why now: A new result challenges a long-standing explanation in quantum physics, which naturally draws attention from scientists and science readers.
