In this video, we explore the Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics and address several thought-provoking ...

After escaping the Nazis by minutes and then getting smuggled through spy-infested Stockholm, the bomb bay of a British fighter jet might have been a relief to physicist Niels Bohr. His approach to ...

To the average person, most quantum theories sound strange, while others seem downright bizarre. There are many diverse theories that try to explain the intricacies of quantum systems and how our ...

This has come up in two threads as off topic discussions so I thought it needs its own thread.<BR><BR>I believe that the Copenhagen interpretation is that experimental observation of quantum effects ...

In quantum mechanics, small bits of matter have the mysterious behavior of sometimes seeming to behave as particles, sometimes as waves. But the dominant explanation of this mystery, assumed for the ...

The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics tells us that observation collapses a probability wave into a single definitive outcome, but this isn’t the only interpretation of quantum mechanics.

There’s a hole at the heart of quantum physics. It’s a deep hole. Yet it’s not a hole that prevents the theory from working. Quantum physics is, by any measure, astonishingly successful. It’s the ...

Erwin Schrödinger, the Austrian quantum physicist, has been celebrated in a Google Doodle which depicts his most widely-known contribution to the field: the Schrödinger’s Cat mind experiment. In the ...

While the official title of the 5th Solvay conference was “on Electrons and Photons”, it was abundantly clear amongst the guests that the presentations would center on the new theory of quantum ...
