It is an experiment to highlight how materials behave differently at a sub atomic level, otherwise called 'the measurement problem'. The experiment involves a radioactive material such as Radium, and linking it to a radiation detector which is in turn linked to a vile of cyanide. These items are placed in a large box along with a live domestic cat. The box lid is then shut with the cat inside. The idea is that when the radiation detector senses radiation given off by the Radium it will open the vile of cyanide which will kill the cat. It seems an obvious conclusion... but it isn't.
Because of the way sub atomic particles move, it is never know for sure where they are until we measure them. It has been shown that they can be in two places at once. Therefore the radioactive particle, while in the shut box, has both jumped and not jumped into the detector at the same time. Therefore until we open the box to study the fate of the cat, it is both dead andalive at the same time .
In Schrdinger's thought experiment, the cat is considered to be both alive and dead until the box is opened and its state is observed.
Erwin Schrödinger created the famous "Schrödinger's Cat" thought experiment to illustrate the paradox of quantum superposition. In this experiment, a cat in a sealed box is both alive and dead at the same time until the box is opened and its state is observed.
Schrodinger did not actually have a cat. The "Schrodinger's cat" thought experiment was created by physicist Erwin Schrodinger to illustrate the concept of superposition in quantum mechanics.
In Schrdinger's thought experiment, the cat is both dead and alive until observed, representing the concept of superposition in quantum mechanics.
Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment that illustrates a paradox in quantum mechanics. In the scenario, a cat in a sealed box is both alive and dead until the box is opened and the cat's state is observed. The experiment is meant to highlight the concept of superposition and the role of observation in quantum systems.

No, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment to illustrate the concept of quantum superposition. It has not been practically attempted due to ethical concerns and technological limitations in creating such a scenario where a cat could be in a superposition of alive and dead states.

Identity confusion.
Well, it's a cat. And it's radioactive. But no, that's not terribly special.You may be thinking of a thought experiment called Schrodinger's Cat. That has a lot more to it than simply a cat and radioactivity, however; it would probably be better to look for an article of that name in an encyclopedia.
In the context of quantum physics, the term "corpuscular cat" is significant because it refers to a thought experiment known as Schrdinger's cat. This experiment illustrates the concept of superposition, where a cat inside a box is both alive and dead until the box is opened and the cat's state is observed. This highlights the strange and counterintuitive nature of quantum mechanics, where particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously until they are measured.
