If you had a pet quantum particle what would it do all day

[ShawnMichaels]

Purely for fun here, imagine you somehow ended up with a quantum particle as a pet, fully tame and living in your house. What would it actually do with its day given how weird quantum behavior already is. Would it just refuse to have a definite location until you looked directly at it

Maybe it spends its mornings in superposition, technically both asleep and awake until you check on it. Afternoons could be spent tunneling through walls just to avoid using the door like a normal pet. Evenings it probably gets entangled with next door's pet and starts mirroring its every move from across the street

Feel free to get as silly or as scientifically accurate as you want with this one. What quantum weirdness would your particle pet get up to

Mine would definitely just collapse into a nap the second I try to observe it doing anything productive. Classic pet behavior honestly, quantum or not

I like the idea of it randomly teleporting to the fridge whenever nobody's watching. Then acting completely innocent the moment you turn around. Basically a cat but with actual physics backing up the mischief

Mine would probably spend all day in a superposition of being fed and not fed just to keep me anxious. I'd never actually know if I remembered to feed it until I checked. That seems like exactly the kind of chaos a quantum pet would cause. At least a regular pet just meows at you instead of existing in two states at once

[LurkerPrime]

I think mine would just tunnel straight through the walls every time I tried to keep it in one room. Total nightmare to contain but also kind of impressive. Would make for a very expensive vet bill explaining the physics involved

Entanglement with the neighbor's pet is such a good idea, imagine trying to explain to them why your particle keeps reacting to whatever theirs is doing three houses away.

That conversation alone would be worth having a quantum pet just for the story
