The Copenhagen Interpretation means that a quantum particle is in all states at once, but when observed would collapse into a single state. This state would be random. This is similar to Schrodinger's cat, where an observer observes a particle from a radioactive source and if it decays, the cat dies. You don't know if the cat is alive or dead unless you actually look in the box, as the decay is random.

Today I learnt about quantum states and how they can be collapsed into a single state when observed, even though all of the states exist at the same time. The slides were good and were not too boring, and the slides were entertaining. One possible improvement is to not use kurtzgesagt
