Could Schrödinger’s Cat States Naturally Emerge in the Quantum World?

Physicist Hal Tasaki has developed a mathematical model showing that large quantum systems can naturally evolve into macroscopic Schrödinger-cat states.

The work suggests that ordinary quantum evolution and thermalization can produce superpositions of dramatically different large-scale configurations, offering new insights into how the quantum world gives rise to classical reality.
