It is interesting to see how Schrödinger managed to create with an imaginary experiment to involve the consequences of quantum theory to the macrospic world represented by the cat.

The cat experiment is connected, as mentioned, to the problem of measurement. A quantum system is in a superposition of two states <math>A</math> '' and <math>B</math> '' (mathematically represented by the 'ket' <math>|A\rangle+|B\rangle</math>); an observation of it forces the system to go definitively or in the <math> |A\rangle</math> or in the <math> |B\rangle</math>. The presence of the cat causes the superposition in which the atom is found to be "transferred" to the overall system (atom + cat). The atom, therefore, is no longer in a superposition, just as the cat is not.From this first presentation we understand the meaning of the argument
