The Coming of the Quantum Cats can - given different social conditions - develop completely different character traits (timid or assertive, benevolent or predatory, etc.) The title refers to the famous thought-experiment known as "Schrödinger's Cat", where the outcome of a real-world event depends on a quantum event. By some interpretations, the real-world object, in this case a cat, must be in two states simultaneously until it is observed. However, the story is more closely related to the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics where all possible outcomes of an event occur, each in its own parallel universe. The same concept was treated, somewhat more pessimistically, in
Two-body Dirac equations The four-vectors formula_120 and formula_121 have only three independent components since The similarity to the three-dimensional structure of the nonrelativistic Schrödinger equation can be made more explicit by writing the equation in the c.m. frame in which Comparison of the resultant form with the time independent Schr\"{o}dinger equation makes this similarity explicit. A plausible structure for the quasipotential formula_83 can be found by observing that the one-body Klein-Gordon equation formula_127 takes the form formula_128 when one introduces a scalar interaction and timelike vector interaction via formula_129and formula_130. In the two-body case, separate classical and quantum field theory arguments show that
