What’s Going On?

Abstract

Abstract Physicists willing to face up to the quantum enigma struggle to interpret what quantum mechanics might be telling us. Several interpretations today contend with the Copenhagen stance. Before we tell of them, we reflect on how different physicists approach the enigma.

The Visit to Neg Ahne Poc

Bruce Rosenblum, Fred Kuttner

Abstract A few chapters will go by before we encounter the enigma posed by quantum mechanics. But let’s start out with a look at the paradox. Today’s technology limits our displaying the quantum enigma to tiny objects. But that is solely a technological limitation. Quantum mechanics applies to everything.

Quantum Mechanics and Multi-World Interpretation—A Dialogue between a Cat and Everett

Tiantian Yang, Hailiang Che

Quantum mechanics is an important understanding of modern physics, and one of China’s first quantum experimental satellites is also launched in July of this year, but around the confusion about the interpretation of quantum philosophy, yet there has not a perfect answer today. “Schrodinger’s cat” is put forward by the Austrian physicist Schrodinger in 1935; it is a name for a quantum state, its production not only has its specific physical incentives, but also has the corresponding philosophical roots. Everett, the author of the “multi-world explanation”, explains that the explanation of “multi-world explanation” to the quantum philosophy from the point of view of Schrodinger’s cat in physics has not only helped us understand the nature of quantum mechanics, to solve the philosophical controversy that has revolved around quantum mechanics, but also deepened our understanding of multi-world interpretations where physics and philosophy blend. This article starts with the famous experiment Schrödinger’s Cat and then tells us two well-known answers to quantum mechanics in the history, that is the Copenhagen Interpretation and the Multi-World Interpretation. By comparing the differences between the two, it emphasis on the correctness of the “multi-world interpretation”. Then it can deepen our understanding of the concept of “Schrodinger’s Cat”, “Quantum Mechanics” and multi-world interpretations.

One-Third of Our Economy

Bruce Rosenblum, Fred Kuttner

Abstract We were deep into the quantum mysteries in the fourth week of our “Quantum Enigma” course, which is addressed to students not majoring in the sciences (though some physics majors always take it). A young woman’s hand went up with a question: “Is quantum mechanics useful for anything practical?” I (Bruce) was speechless for at least ten seconds. In the narrowness of my physicist perspective, I just assumed that everyone realized the quantum basis of our technology. I put aside my lecture notes and for the rest of the hour went off on a tangent to tell of practical applications of quantum mechanics.
