A difficult line. I'm translating a short text that talks about Schrödinger's cat (シュレーディンガーの猫), the famous thought experiment. It ends with the following sentence that is currently giving me trouble: 愛らしい猫のパラドックスとして、量子力学の入門の格好のキーワードとなった。 I understand individual words, but as a whole it just somehow doesn't fall into place (or does that in a rather weird way). Could someone tell me what is actually being said there, please? Thank you.Jura, I've tried it with Google (pretty much knowing it ain't gonna help anyway) . This actually happened _before_ I asked this question here. :)Maki, Kazma. Although I'm still in a bit of a loss, your explanations seem to have pushed me into the right direction. :) Thanks.Thank you too, Katt. Actually, I've arrived at something that is pretty much close, but I'm guessing "buzz word" instead of "keyword" here would sound more natural in English. I'm dropping the "lovely cat" part for now b/c I was not able to confirm that in Japan it is commonly called such (unless perhaps a Japanese physicist would suddenly come along and prove this wrong... :) ). So okay... Let's consider this closed. :)

If I translate this,... 'It became a very good keyword for a beginning of quantum mechanics as a paradox of lovely cat.' The part 'as a .... cat' is not so important. 'It' means 'Schrödinger's cat'.

I have no idea about 量子力学、 but let me try. As paradox of cute cat, シュレーディンガーの猫 has become a reasonal keyword for introduction of 量子力学. or Using paradox of cute cat, シュレーディンガーの猫 has become a reasonal keyword for introduction of 量子力学. does this make any sense?

hey noiz... I think it could be said something like this, "Known as the "Cute Cat Paradox", (the aforementioned experiment) became quite the buzz word in introductory quantum mechanics.
