Cat Girls in Schrodinger's House, or, the deepest figure you'll ever own photo

I very much like this little diorama of a cat girl hanging out with her little bunny ... rabbit ... thing. In her messy bedroom with clothes on the floor, no less. I admit though, I had zero idea what this was. Off to Google, then! With a little investigation, I discovered something pretty interesting. From the Wikipedia entry on Schrodinger;s cat:

"Schrödinger's cat is a paradoxical thought experiment devised by Erwin Schrödinger that attempts to illustrate the incompleteness of the theory of quantum mechanics when going from subatomic to macroscopic systems. This means that there can be two different universes depending on the action taken which in this case is opening the box to see if the cat is dead or not. You can not say the cat is alive or dead until you open the box."

There's more where that came from, too.

At any rate, if you grasp quantum mechanics more than I do, you may want to add this cutesy version of the Schrodinger's cat to your collection (it's #2 in a set, so I assume there will be more). It comes with an instruction booklet with a 4-panel comic included, its 2,350 yen, and it'll be out late this month. Had any of you heard of the Schrodinger's Cat concept before?

I had a friend at school who'd read books about this kinda thing - Schrodinger's cat, quarks and neutrinos. I used to be purposefully obtuse about it to wind her up.
This figure = cutest out of the Schrodinger's cat figures so far. Gonna wait on seeing detailed pictures. Atm the concept's nice but the sculpt of some of the clothes on the floor is uh, lacking.
I just started watching Toaru Majutsu no Index and they talk about this a lot.

One of the girls wants to name the cat Schrodinger but says that would be taboo.
I can say that the catgirl is alive and adorable.

As for your query re: Schrodinger's neko - I remember reading about it briefly via wiki after studying causality. So...the Stumbleupon add-on directed me to a cartoon on causality, which directed me to a wiki page on Schrodinger's neko.
Why yes, I can tell you far more about eigenstates of a particle than you'd ever care to know (or I'd care to know for that matter, yay for phsyics majors who end up not wanting to be physicists). Just for the record, it's a lot more about a way to illustrate the idea that a particle is in a combination of eigenstates at any given time than it is about parallel dimensions.

That being said, I don't see how this figure relates to the idea.
Schrodinger is a pretty common joke surrounding cats in anime. There's the Index one above, but I think it was in Haruhi that an explanation of Schrodinger was given (might have been a different anime). Other anime and manga reference it as well, but the biggest is probably the Nazi cat boy named Schrodinger in the Hellsing manga and anime.

As for the figure, it's cute, but the clothes are really thickly sculpted, would have been better if they were sculpted flat on the base.
While I knew about the concept beforehand, I got it drilled to death when I played Umineko No Naku Koro Ni.

While the figure is cute (and a detailed base is always more than welcomed) I don't see much of a relationship with the Schrodinger concept. Maybe once we see the whole collection it'll be clear.
This sculpt looks very poor compared to some of the works I've seen. The clothes look blobby and so does her hair.

I also don't see how this illustrates the concept of Schrodinger's cat but I think it's more of a reference as per the anime and game concepts mentioned in other comments here than to be literal.
Intrigued but I'd probably have to see better photos because I decide whether I want it.
this is cute, but I find myself liking the scene way more than the character in it, though for some reason my favorite part is just the chocolate waffles (at least, it looks likes chocolate waffles). As other people, I also doesn't see any connection to the concept in the figurine. Usually you don't go out of your way to reference things like that and then it has nothing to do with it. I had heard of the concept several times before, but didn't really get it. Being able to understand it now, it explains why my high school physics teacher used dead cats in all his examples in class
Saw the first one and was surpised how small it was.

I think I heard of the concept from Numbers. Adam Warren did a reference on it in his comics as well.(along with a catgirl pic)

This doesn't actually reference the concept as much as just making a random catgirl.
It it was, she'll be dead/alive in a box.
I was wondering who will first write about this on Tomopop and thought it might be Colette-we seem to have similar taste :-)
I saw this on AmiAmi and was intrigued. There is something about this figure I am really drawn to, not sure what it is!
I love the Schrodinger's cat figure series, but I hate the concept.
Really, ever since I was a child this story would creep me out =|
Pretty much every catgirl or cat in the figure/GK word that isn't related to a series is called Schrödinger. xD
Seriously, I have two Schrödinger GK on my workbench right know.
