Here’s how I distinguish science from philosophy. Science addresses questions that can be answered, potentially, through empirical investigation. Examples: What’s the best way to defeat COVID-19? What ...

The parity-identification problem fits naturally into this landscape. Parity is a global property, insensitive to most local details. In this respect, it resembles many other quantities studied in ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

Albert Einstein famously said that quantum mechanics should allow two objects to affect each other’s behaviour instantly across vast distances, something he dubbed “spooky action at a distance” 1.

Sam Mugel, Ph.D., is the CTO of Multiverse Computing, a global leader in developing value-driven quantum solutions for businesses. Quantum mechanics, which is the study of the behavior of sub-atomic ...

This post is in response to Quantum Effects In the Brain By Robert Lanza M.D. In his 2019 New York Times opinion piece entitled, “Even Physicists Don’t Understand Quantum Mechanics. Worse, they don’t ...

New technologies are enabling scientists to tackle previously elusive physics problems. The macroscopic realm, which consists of everything from falling balls to orbiting planets, can be explained by ...

As Joe Howlett points out, "the Schrödinger equation remains physicists’ foremost window into the quantum realm. It tells scientists how that strange world works; that is, how quantum objects interact ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone of technologies that shape our lives, from lasers and microchips to quantum ...
