Is it correct to consider instead Schrodinger's Cat next case?
I to propose to consider the next task.
Let's consider girl Ann. Once night she was contact with Bob.
Is Ann mothercarry or no? If no its state 0. If yes, 1. We can say that Ann is in superposition 0 and 1.
For the demonstration the entangled states we can consider two girls Ann and Sarah. Ann was meet Bob in New York. And Sarah in Chicago.
If they will be born children, the children will be similar because they have the same daddy Bob. Than for Ann and Sarah we can write the entangled states relationship.
If the child will be similar because they have the same daddy Bob, we can say that there is correlation between children. It is the way to consider the quantum teleportation.

And your point is?

The point of "Schroedinger's Cat" was that quantum level events can have macro level effects. I see nothing but a not-too-accurate simile in yours.
 


It is certainly an interesting idea to consider the concept of superposition and entangled states in a real-life scenario, such as the relationship between a girl and a potential father of her child. However, it is important to note that this analogy may not fully capture the complexity and nuances of quantum mechanics and the implications of Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment.

In the original thought experiment, Schrodinger's Cat represents the idea of superposition and uncertainty in the quantum world, where an object can exist in multiple states simultaneously until it is observed or measured. This concept is not easily transferable to a real-life scenario, as it involves the laws of quantum mechanics and not just human relationships.

Furthermore, while the analogy of two girls and their potential children may demonstrate the idea of entangled states and correlation, it does not fully encompass the concept of quantum teleportation. Quantum teleportation involves the transfer of quantum information, not just physical traits or characteristics.

In conclusion, it is interesting to consider the next case or task in relation to Schrodinger's Cat, but it is important to recognize the limitations of using analogies to fully understand the complexities of quantum mechanics.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
