← ScienceWhich measurement outcome results when Schrödinger's cats, entangled through radioactive decay, are observed?
A)One alive, other uncertain
B)One alive, other definitely dead✓
C)Both alive only
D)Both in superposition states
💡 Explanation
The act of observation collapses the superposition because quantum entanglement dictates correlated states; measurement breaks this. Therefore, if one cat is observed alive, the other is measured dead rather than in a mixed superposition, assuming perfect entanglement and isolation.
