Schrödinger's Test for Artificial Intelligence

Following the spirit of the Turing Test, we propose Schrödinger’s Test using the original text of Schrödinger’s Cat thought experiment as a test of logical reasoning and independent thinking in artificial intelligence.

For a radioactive isotope, we introduce its Schrödinger’s Amount, the weight or quantity of its atoms equal to “a tiny amount” in the original text, and it is put in the steel box with the cat of the thought experiment.

The test consists of a machine reading the text and answering several test questions. A higher level of the test is to have it write a report to see how many answers to the questions it contains.

As a starting set, our questions are designed to dissect Schrödinger’s Cat part by part and step by step, a few of which are original, not yet available on the internet, unknown to current artificial intelligence programs, and can therefore serve as test questions. For example, why must the box be open? Are atoms identical? Is Schrödinger’s Cat repeatable?

For each question, two answers are presented: a conventional or known answer reflecting standard interpretations in physics available on the internet, and an unconventional answer derived through facts and logic not yet available on the internet.

Since Schrödinger’s Cat was introduced in 1935, with Einstein’s involvement, it has been extensively studied, taught, and wrote for nearly 100 years, Schrödinger’s Test represents an extremely high-level of human intelligence.
