Schrödinger's cat, perhaps, reduced to a zombie? (6,4)

I believe the answer is:

living dead

This clue is a double definition.

'schrodinger's cat perhaps' is the first definition.
(metaphorical cat which could be alive or dead)

'reduced to a zombie?' is the second definition.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
