Scientists have announced a way to "save" the cat Schrödinger
Under the heading "Let's talk about science" today we will talk about the statements of scientists that they know "the method of capturing and saving the Schrödinger's cat." First, a few words about what (whom) is called Schrödinger's cat.
We are talking about the mental experiment proposed by Erwin Schrödinger on the description of quantum states, their superposition. The experiment was intended to show the incompleteness of quantum mechanics in the transition from elementary particles to objects of the usual "dimension" (macroscopic bodies). As a macroscopic object and a cat was proposed.
Omitting all Schrödinger's conclusions (they can be simply “google”), we note that we are talking about a state when a cat locked in “laboratory conditions” is either alive or dead - subject to observing it and its “state” connected with the state of the atomic nucleus . With superposition, he can be "alive and dead at the same time." The bottom line is that the nucleus of an atom must either be decaying or not decaying - in the case of external observation, the system “has to choose” one of the states without mixing them. As a result, the “Schrödinger cat” itself became the symbol of the problem of quantum superposition.
And so, at Yale University they said they could predict the “Schrödinger's Cat” jumps.
An article has been published in the journal Nature, which states that the discovery allows scientists to establish an early warning system about the inevitable jumps of artificially created atoms containing quantum information.
The author of the experiment is researcher Zlatko Minev. He declared the discovery of what contradicts the conclusions of the physicist Niels Bohr: the jumps of atomic states cannot be random.
From the article:
Minev says that research is being conducted in the direction of studying "a preliminary signal that a jump in a moment happens" - and "Schrödinger's cat will be saved." If this signal is also studied, this, as stated, promises to be a giant breakthrough in the study of quantum states.

From the article:
When developing quantum computers, researchers must deal with qubit jumps, which are errors in calculations.

From the article:
The Yale team used a special approach to indirectly monitor an artificial atom, when three microwave generators emit an atom enclosed in a three-dimensional cavity of aluminum. The double indirect control method developed by scientists for superconducting circuits allows observing an atom with unprecedented efficiency.
