In quantum mechanics, wave function collapse is said to occur when a wave function, initially in a superposition of several states appears to reduce to one due to interaction with the external world. This interaction is called an observation. The measurement problem in quantum mechanics involves understanding how (or whether) wave function collapse occurs. The … Read more
There can be no doubt the probabilistic interpretation of Schrödinger’s wave function predicts with amazing precision the results of every experiment involving the quantum world that has ever been devised to test it. However, defining our world in this manner presents a problem because that equation defines all its possible configurations that it can have … Read more
Please click here for a brief summary of the ideas presented in this blog. There are two ways primary ways Quantum computers are different from conventional ones The first it uses qubits which can exist in a superposition of multiple states to process information instead binary bits of zeros or ones. For example, … Read more
Superposition, in the quantum world means that on a quantum scale, particles can be thought of as waves that can exist in different states or positions at the same time. Like all waves they can overlapping or be superimposed on each other and because it assumes that particles are waves, they can also exist in … Read more
I like to think the moon is there even if I am not looking at it is one of the more famous quotes attributed to Einstein when confronting the Quantum mechanical assumption that objects do not exist is space and time until they are observed. Quantum mechanics assumes that one cannot define the position of … Read more
