Quotes About Quantum

Si el hemisferio izquierdo del cerebro fue el que dio lugar a la física newtoniana, el derecho es el que ha dado lugar a la física cuántica.

Somewhere around the place I've got an unfinished short story about Schrodinger's Dog; it was mostly moaning about all the attention the cat was getting.

A person who wasn't outraged on first hearing about quantum theory didn't understand what had been said.

People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.

We are analog beings living in a digital world, facing a quantum future.

Future generations will know there's nothing mystical about wetware because by 2100, Moore's law will have given us tiny quantum computers powerful enough to upload a human soul.

I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice.

Your notions of friendship are new to me; I believe every man is born with his quantum, and he cannot give to one without robbing another. I very well know to whom I would give the first place in my friendship, but they are not in the way, I am condemned to another scene, and therefore I distribute it in pennyworths to those about me, and who displease me least, and should do the same to my fellow prisoners if I were condemned to a jail.

I believe in God the way I believe in quarks. People whose business it is to know about quantum physics or religion tell me they have good reason to believe that quarks and God exist. And they tell me that if I wanted to devote my life to learning what they've learned, I'd find quarks and God just like they did.

The many-worlds theory basically maintains that the reason quantum mechanics seems so strange is because we have access to only one of an infinite number of worlds. From our narrow perspective, the output of certain measurements (like that of the double-slit experiment) seems random and probabilistic, but that is an artifact of the fact that, literally, we don't have the full picture.

if I think (and I do) that Deepak Chopra talks nonsense when he tells people about quantum mechanical elixirs of youth, I would first have to be an expert in quantum mysticism. But the problem is that quantum mysticism is (I think) quackery, and that therefore there is no such thing as an "expert" on quantum mysticism.

Science tells us that the "grey zone" between life and death is a mysterious place. There is a singular point at which we are not one thing or another. Or rather we are both. Alive and dead. And in that moment between the two binaries, sometimes, just sometimes, we turn ourselves into a Schrödinger's cat who may not only be alive or dead but may be every quantum possibility that exists in line with the universal wave function

in quantum physics every alternative possibility happens simultaneously. All at once. In the same place. Quantum superposition.

You are the product of some strange interaction between my mind and the multiverse, some simplification of the quantum wave function or whatever it is.

Erwin Schrödinger . . .' 'He of the cat.

We have the knowledge to realise we are just a mass of quanta and particles, like everything else is, and yet we keep trying to separate ourselves from the universe we live in

Yes. The cat guy. He said that in quantum physics every alternative possibility happens simultaneously. All at once. In the same place. Quantum superposition. The cat in the box is both alive and dead. You could open the box and see that it was alive or dead, that's how it goes, but in one sense, even after the box is open, the cat is still both alive and dead.

She imagined seeing herself as just another brilliant freak of nature. Just another sentient animal, trying their best. And in doing so, she imagined what it was like to be free. Life and Death and the Quantum Wave Function With Hugo, it wasn't a library.

We have the knowledge to realise we are just a mass of quanta and particles, like everything else is, and yet we keep trying to separate ourselves from the universe we live in, to give ourselves a meaning above that of a tree or a rock or a cat or a turtle.

Depression is kind of quantum physics of thought and emotion. It reveals what is normally hidden. It unravels you

Erwin Schrödinger . . .' 'He of the cat.' 'Yes. The cat guy.

He said that in quantum physics every alternative possibility happens simultaneously. All at once. In the same place. Quantum superposition.

La théorie des mondes multiples de la physique quantique pose comme principe qu'il y a un nombre infini d'univers parallèles divergents. A chaque instant de votre vie, vous entrez dans un nouvel univers. A chaque décision que vous prenez.

The many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics suggests there are an infinite number of divergent parallel universes. Every moment of your life you enter a new universe. With every decision you make.
