The act of observing a quantum event probabalistically influences its outcome.
I mean, we're really making a quantum change in our relationship to the plant world with genetic modification.
I just felt that you can't have a character fall in love so madly as they did in the last movie and not finish it off, understand it, get some closure. That's why the movie is called 'Quantum of Solace' - that's exactly what he's looking for.
If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics.
Faith is not so much a binary pole as a quantum state, which tends to indeterminacy when closely examined.
When the long awaited solution to the UFO problem comes, I believe that it will prove to be not merely the next small step in the march of science but a mighty and totally unexpected quantum jump.
Anyone who can contemplate quantum mechanics without getting dizzy hasn't understood it.
Practically and commercially speaking, a dollar is not necessarily a specific thing, made of silver, or gold, or any other single metal, or substance. It is only such a quantum of market value as exists in a given piece of silver or gold.
I liked quantum mechanics very much. The subject was hard to understand but easy to apply to a large number of interesting problems.
The problem is that replacement of Quantum Mechanics by Quantum Field Theory is still very demanding.
Quantum physics is no longer an abstract theory for specialists. We must now absolutely include it in our education and also in our culture.
The revolution which began with the creation of quantum theory and relativity theory can only be finished with their unification into a single theory that can give us a single, comprehensive picture of nature.
Christians assert that because there is fundamental weirdness at the quantum level of the very very small one must pretend to know things one does not know, aka have faith.
No theory of reality compatible with quantum theory can require spatially separate events to be independent.
The shell game that we play. . . is technically called 'renormalization'. But no matter how clever the word, it is still what I would call a dippy process! Having to resort to such hocus-pocus has prevented us from proving that the theory of quantum electrodynamics is mathematically self-consistent. It's surprising that the theory still hasn't been proved self-consistent one way or the other by now; I suspect that renormalization is not mathematically legitimate.
If you aren't confused by quantum mechanics, you haven't really understood it.
When you think about the complexity of our natural world - plants using quantum mechanics for photosynthesis, for example - a smartphone begins to look like a pretty dumb object.
In fact any experiment that measures a quantum effect is one in which the quantum effect is aligned with the behavior of some heavy, macroscopic object; that's how we measure it
Doing is a quantum leap from imagining.
[The Many-worlds interpretation is the] only completely coherent approach to explaining both the contents of quantum mechanics and the appearance of the world.
