It is the most precisely tested theory in science, and it still will not tell us what it means. What quantum mechanics says, the experiments that forced it on physicists,…
Schrödinger's cat is the most famous image in quantum physics, and it is almost always told backwards. In 1935 Erwin Schrödinger did not claim a cat could be alive and…
Nothing in quantum mechanics forbids a cat from being alive and dead at once. Superposition has no size limit written into the theory, and yet nobody has ever seen a…
A qubit is not a bit that is somehow both 0 and 1 at once. That line points at the wrong mechanism. A qubit's state is a pair of complex…
