Part 5/8:
Enter the recent paper from the three physicists, who assert they have found a mathematical framework capable of addressing these concerns. They propose that the interaction between a quantum state (the dead-and-alive cat) and its environment can unequivocally dictate which observable states manifest.
Through their model, the researchers illustrate two significant states corresponding to the cat being dead or alive. Notably, their mathematical approach employs random matrices to depict the interaction in a way that ensures no intermediate state arises. Their findings suggest that as time progresses, quantum systems converge to definitive states rather than lingering in a superposition.
