Returning to the case of the cat, however, it should be noted that the above description is incorrect<ref>Stefan Rinner, Ernst Werner: [https://arxiv.org/pdf/0705.2935.pdf ''On the role of entanglement in Schrödinger's cat paradox''], Central European Journal of Physics 02/2008; 6(1):178-183</ref>. The same conclusion of Schrödinger, who nevertheless never uses the term "paradox", is expressed in very different terms: Schrödinger refers to the ''' wave function of the whole system ''', not to that of the cat. In fact, quantum theory states that the atom + cat system is described by the quantum correlation state. | Returning to the case of the cat, however, it should be noted that the above description is incorrect<ref>Stefan Rinner, Ernst Werner: [https://arxiv.org/pdf/0705.2935.pdf ''On the role of entanglement in Schrödinger's cat paradox''], Central European Journal of Physics 02/2008; 6(1):178-183</ref>.
