In quantum mechanics, the cat state, named after Schrödinger's cat, is a quantum state composed of two diametrically opposed conditions at the same time, such as the possibilities that a cat is alive and dead at the same time. Generalizing Schrödinger's thought experiment, any other quantum superposition of two macroscopically distinct states is also referred to as a cat state. A cat state could be of one or more modes or particles, therefore it is not necessarily an entangled state. Such cat states have been experimentally realized in various ways and at various scales.

- Na mecânica quântica, o estado do gato, em homenagem ao gato de Schrödinger, é um estado quântico que é composto de duas condições diametralmente opostas ao mesmo tempo, como as possibilidades de um gato estar vivo e morto ao mesmo tempo. O gato de Schrödinger às vezes é conectado à hipótese dos muitos mundos por seus proponentes. (pt)
