Schrödinger wrote:„One can even set up quite ridiculous cases. A cat is penned up in a steel chamber, along with the following device (which must be secured against direct interference by the cat): in a Geiger counter there is a tiny bit of radioactive substance, so small, that perhaps in the course of the hour one of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it happens, the counter tube discharges and through a relay releases a hammer which shatters a small flask of hydrocyanic acid. If one has left this entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the cat still lives if meanwhile no atom has decayed. The function of the entire system would express this by having in it the living and dead cat (pardon the expression) mixed or smeared out in equal parts.It is typical of these cases that an indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved by direct observation. That prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a "blurred model" for representing reality. In itself it would not embody anything unclear or contradictory. There is a difference between a shaky or out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks.“

Schrödinger's famous tought experiment poses the question: when does a quantum system stop existing as a mixture of states and become one or the other? (More technically, when does the actual quantum state stop being a linear combination of states, each of which resemble different classical states, and instead begin to have a unique classical description?) If the cat survives, it remembers only being alive. But explanations of experiments that are consistent with standard microscopic quantum mechanics require that macroscopic objects, such as cats and notebooks, do not always have unique classical descriptions. The purpose of the thought experiment is to illustrate this apparent paradox: our intuition says that no observer can be in a mixture of states, yet it seems cats, for example, can be such a mixture. Are cats required to be observers, or does their existence in a single well-defined classical state require another external observer?

An interpretation of quantum mechanicsAn interpretation of quantum mechanics. A key feature of quantum mechanics is that the state of every particle is described by a wavefunction, which is a mathematical representation used to calculate the probability for it to be found in a location, or state of motion. In effect, the act of measurement causes the calculated set of probabilities to "collapse" to the value defined by the measurement. This feature of the mathematical representations is known as wave function collapse.

Bohr
He suggested that electrons could only have certain classical motions:
1.The electrons can only travel in special orbits: at a certain discrete set of distances from the nucleus with specific energies. 2.The electrons do not continuously lose energy as they travel. They can only gain and lose energy by jumping from one allowed orbit to another, absorbing or emitting electromagnetic radiation with a frequency determined by the energy difference ΔE = E2 − E1 = h of the levels according to Bohr's formula where h is
Planck‘s Constant. 3.the frequency of the radiation emitted at an orbit with period T is as it would be in classical mechanics--- it is the reciprocal of the classical orbit period:

The angular momentum AA is restricted to be an integer multiple of a fixed unit: A= n h / 2mvr [1]where n = 1,2,3,… and is called the principal quantum number. The lowest value of n is 1. This gives a smallest possible orbital radius of 0.0529 nm. This is known as the BohrBohr radius. Once an electron is in this lowest orbit, it can get no closer to the proton. Starting from the angular momentum quantum rule Bohr Bohr was able to calculate the energies of the allowed orbits of the hydrogen atom and other hydrogenlyke atoms and ions.Bohr's condition, that the angular momentum is an integer multiple of h/2 was later reinterpreted by de Broglie as a standing wave condition: n r = L [2]the electron is described by a wave and a whole number of wavelengths must fit along the circumference of the electron's orbit.

To calculate the orbits requires two assumptions:1. Classical mechanicsClassical mechanics
The electron is held in a circular orbit by electrostatic attraction. The centripetal forcecentripetal force is equal to the Coulom forceCoulom force:
mv2/r = ke2 /r2 [3]where mm is the mass and ee is the charge of the electron. This determines the speed at any radius:
v=√(ke2 /mr) [4]It also determines the total energy at any radius: E=mv2/2 - ke2 /r = -ke2 /2r [5]The total energy is negative and inversely proportional to r. This means that it takes energy to pull the orbiting electron away from the proton. For infinite values of r, the energy is zero, corresponding to a motionless electron infinitely far from the proton. For larger nuclei, the only change is that ke2 is everywhere replaced by Z ke2 where Z is the number of protons.
