“I don’t know of any mundane way to explain it.”
Quantum & frontier physics
Qubits, error correction and where physics actually stands.
“I thought it was a little bit crazy, but I thought it was the least crazy of all the possibilities.”
“Arora also explains why quantum computers could threaten today's encryption — and why hackers may already be collecting data to decrypt later.”
“Maybe quantum biology, at the biggest scales, means using 3 1/2 billion years of evolution to work out how to get the functionality that you could get from quantum systems”
“Classical systems can mimic some of the key features of quantum information”
“We need to remember our skepticism and be careful about the hype that we’re hearing. Human physics is not over.”
“There were fundamental questions here that could have been asked hundreds of years ago. It's just that no one thought to ask them.”
“It's maybe the most fundamental thing that you can say about the evolution of the entire universe. And yet it's not something that anyone thought of until they were building steam engines.”
“Navier-Stokes is very much an approximation.”
“It could be that that's the first hint that the mantle is not uniform.”
“The measurement of muon g–2 is a proxy for saying how many particles exist in the universe”
“It was a surprise. No one expected it to be like that”
“"That just seemed like a much, much harder problem,"”
“I think of computation as the yardstick, or the metric, with which we can understand this.”
“We are happy to inform you that we have definitely detected neutrinos.”
“We are happy to inform you that we have definitely detected neutrinos.”
“I think 17 is the right answer”
“One, 5½, 62 — they pop out of the theorem”
“Without magic, things are a little too simple. And, you know, quantum space-time isn't quite that simple.”
“This is pretty cool, because in quantum gravity, we don’t expect the background is fixed”
