Can a cat be dead and alive at the same time? According to quantum mechanics, a cat inside a box can be in a superposition of being dead and alive. Yet, when observed, it seems to "collapse" into a single state.

In this video, Oxford PhD researcher Maria Violaris explains the Schrödinger's cat paradox using quantum computing, and shows you how to simulate the paradox yourself by coding quantum circuits with Qiskit.
