TED-Ed: Schrodinger's cat: A thought experiment in quantum mechanics - Chad Orzel

The video explores Schrödinger's cat thought experiment, illustrating the concept of superposition in quantum physics. It explains how this principle allows quantum objects to exist in multiple states simultaneously, which is crucial for modern technology like computers. The video delves into wave-particle duality, showing how electrons exhibit both behaviors in experiments. It also covers electron superposition in chemical bonds and semiconductors, highlighting its role in creating transistors and powering technology. The conclusion ties the impact of quantum physics to the development of the internet.
