You have probably heard of the famous Schrödinger equation . In 1935 Schrödinger devised this thought experiment during a discussion with Albert Einstein.  The Schrödinger's Cat points out the problem with the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. In quantum mechanics there is a phenomenon called  quantum superposition,   that a system can exist in two different states simultaneously. The experiment asks that  when does a quantum system stop existing as a superposition of states and become one or the other? If we simplify the experiment we can explain it as.
