Quantum Interrogation OR How to find a puppy in a box using quantum mechanics

Puppy in a box

So here is our problem: a large box lies before us, and we would like to know whether there is a sleeping puppy inside. Except that, sensitive souls that we are, it’s really important that we don’t wake up the puppy. Furthermore, due to circumstances too complicated to get into right now, we only have one technique at our disposal: the ability to pass an item of food into a small flap in the box. If the food is something uninteresting to puppies, like a salad, we will get no reaction — the puppy will just keep slumbering peacefully, oblivious to the food. But if the food is something delicious (from the canine point of view), like a nice juicy steak, the aromas will awaken the puppy, which will begin to bark like mad.

This article is not only entertaining, fascinating and totally freaking cool. It also is about a cute puppy. How can you go wrong with that? I’m also really stoked that I understand what the article is talking about. Cute little sleeping puppy, I hope you see your steak!
