About this listen

In this episode, co-hosts Sumit Parashar and Pete Codella explore superposition, the first pillar of quantonomy, to explain how quantum objects exist in multiple states simultaneously. Through the lens of Schrödinger’s Cat, they demystify why the simple act of observation causes these "spooky" waves of potentiality to collapse into our physical reality.
