I had never considered the notion that Entanglement was the solution to Superposition as we understand our classic/macro world. This notion of decoherence is fascinating. I need to hear more from him. This clip was just enough to know his understanding of how quantum theory begins to map up into our classical physics view... Lets just say, I gotta hear more from him!!

Professor Zurek is one of the most clear and engaging and interesting interviewees you've had...thoroughly enjoyable discourse on the very difficult aspects of quantum states and how they relate to what we consider to be reality...hope to see more of him please ....nostrovia! 😄

The wave function of a simple harmonic oscillator can be squared to give the probability of it's location. If it's a ball on a spring then why would we say the ball is in a state of being anywhere until we observe it's exact location at some specific time? We don't because we can observe the system at every moment. So why is it then when we apply the same technique with the Schrodinger Equation involving probability amplitude we say a particle can be anywhere until we measure it? It's because we can't see what's going on at every moment in time. So to make the assumption of entanglement I believe is premature in the same way we could say the ball oscillating has entangled states between the extrema.

@@JAYJAYBEBE That's Bell's Theorem and it did not prove that there cannot be hidden variables. It just showed through an accounting procedure (preserving a probability of 1 for an entire system) how there is a non-classical distribution and some dependency between photons which we knew already (double slit experiment for example). If you drop a stone in a pond you can see for every ripple on one side can be traced through the center to the other side. So it's obvious there is a symmetry there. To say some molecule of water is in a superposition along the wave is misleading. The problem with photons is there is some unknown interaction that causes a discrepancy in the accounting. That's why to assume superposition I think is premature. If you told Newton you could travel into space very fast and come back in your lifetime and the world would be thousands of years older he probably would say that is impossible. There is no variable that would make that possible because the universe was thought to be in a strictly square Cartesian space - but now we know it is possible. The hidden variables for relativity in square Cartesian space is ugly but when you look at how space can be curved, the idea becomes simple.

The glass can only be “here and also here” at the same time with enough energy.... it can’t just be both without the energy. The glass has gone through rounds and rounds of quantum action such that it has been “condensed” to such an extent that without enough energy used in the right way to work through all the molecules and atoms it can’t just look fuzzy in both places in our normal environment. Great vid! Thanks

Excellent..... thanks.

Wojciech sure has some nice digs!

So, everytime we cheers each other with Vodka, remember there are two of us more cheering each other too, but because of the entanglement they maybe cheering with Whisky.

As an analogy it seems that the questions posed by the host are kind of like this. "I know the back of my head is there and I wish to see it so that I may locate it and define it clearly". Well then he takes 2 mirrors and captures the photons from the back of his head. But that is only two mirrors or a set of mirrors. But that is not the whole back of his head so he chooses a different angle for the set and sees the back of his head. A different back of head but he sees the same back of head. There are an infinite number of positions of the mirror set. Therefore the back of his head is a superposition of all the sets which represent the back of his head.

He doesn't believe in decoherence.

What is the environment that the quantum superposition interacts with made out of, if not by systems previously on a quantum state? Is it essentially an interaction with decoherence arrived at from asymmetry of two system's ages? How would that come about?

Though we isolate electrons and perform the double slit experiment, electrons by nature are not free but entangled hence quanta math is a special case?

In entanglement could there be non-local quantum field / wave function without any local information?

It is possible. Type entanglementsolved in any search box.

Yessss!! I luv it!! Too good

Could quantum superposition happen over or through time? In quantum wave function / mechanics, time from past to present to future is connected in superposition, while not in classic mechanics?

The unlikely mix between Vodka and physics, good laugh!

What if we were able to direct, or guide the far away entangled particle? Applications?...

That same bottle of vodka is in a superposition with my study desk half way across the world. But why is it only half full?

In entanglement, is there a quantum wave / field that is traveling from future to present between entangled particles?

I would think that if light is not able to communicate between the two positions, then that indicates another type of energy that is not detectable today? I too had a drink with them...

No!

Any computer simulation of entanglement must find a way to shift information faster than light. This information is in the nature of a newly-generated one-time pad rather than a book, and the pad cannot be accompanied by a second pad such that there is a message embedded in the correlation between the two pads. The good news is that we are obliged to look for nonlocal degrees of freedom in the way that we integrate the Schroedinger equation, which would otherwise have us stuck in a terrible straitjacket given its extreme accuracy at the ensemble level. I would suggest making a random choice between a spacelike and a timelike integration, which is tachyonic Brownian motion by another name. For objects heavier than the Planck mass, TBM becomes just classical Brownian motion and the wavelike behaviour is obliterated. The effect of classical Brownian motion is decoherence as Dr Zurek proposes. Correlated TBM in the matter and electromagnetic fields can convey information nonlocally like a natural Vernam cipher.

What is the interaction with the environment ? Which is the environment ? What is this record that is left after the interaction with the environment ?

Maybe entangled particles are the same particle at different points in time, such as past and future?

Are particles entangled through time by quantum field / wave function? Quantum entanglement brings particle(s) through time?

Why do people cling with such ferocity to the belief in a mind-independent reality? It is surely because if there is no such reality, then ultimately (as far as we can know) mind alone exists. And if mind is not a product of real matter, but rather is the creator of the illusion of material reality (which has, in fact, despite the materialists, been known to be the case, since the discovery of quantum mechanics in 1925), then a theistic view of our existence becomes the only rational alternative to solipsism." ～ Richard Conn Henry is an Academy Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University, author of one book and over 200 publications on the topics of astrophysics and various forms of astronomy.

A friend gives both you and me a small box and tells us in one box in a white ball and in the other a black ball. We are told each to go into a different room and then we'll get a phone call. You get the call and are asked to open the box and tell me what based on what you see, what ball i have in my box. You give your answer and are correct. You are able to do so with ease, instantly and no information has been sent from one ball to the other. Isn't that what's happening with spooky action at a distance?

I wonder if the issue of entanglement and the relationship between the particles goes beyond the four dimensional universe we experience such that their “position” in this universe, is irrelevant. Like in a singularity - a one dimensional universe. Assuming speed of light is the maximum speed of information transfer, how can what we possibly see what occurs according to the rules we know of in the larger world... One thing’s for sure, quantum physics blows my monkey brain. We are not in Kansas anymore!

That's the holographic principle. The reason location doesn't matter in 3D space when particles are entangled, are because they are actually really close together on a 2D membrane projected from the edge of the universe. We're in the 3D universe inside the sphere, but its all being processed and generated from the 2D membrane and one of the observable effects of this is that entanglement allows the 'spooky action'. I see it like a text document, when you entangle particles, they are pushed together on the membrane in the document (say, the letter 'R' is entangled in this part of the text: [ hhhhhhhhhhhhhhRRhhhhhhhhhhhh ] and the document just has an address where the particles exist in 3D space [ hhhhhhhhhhhhh XYZ:R XYZ:R hhhhhhhhhhhhhh] where 'h' are just other particles with different properties. Because they are literally next to each other in the descriptive program on the membrane, they affect each other instantly. But they are described in space as being in different places in space. Space is just the stage upon which the program plays out.

@@MOSMASTERING I'm aware of the holographic principle being somewhat endorsed by Susskind. How would entanglement create that connection on the membrane level though? What would it take for that to be the case? Even with that in mind, it still voids the principle of transfers FTL in our observable, 3D universe. Meaning that there's ways for spacetime to be affected other than general and special relativity hold. Pointing to them being wrong/limited viewpoints. Keep in mind simultaneity (the derived, nonexistent nature of it) was the spark (literally, the lightning bolt example) and starting argument on Einstein's relativity. So, even hologram wouldn't cut it. Thoughts?

Mirror image of Bob Ross. Now that’s quantum weirdness. Or is that entanglement? No matter. Let’s drink to that.

People and often scientists always state that a particle or physical phenomena can be two states at the same like the glass example he used, however that example is not a good one since the glass exists "coupled" to him. The superpositions exists as a superposition of probable states under a unitary evolution however, when make the measurement the state collapses (disturbing the evolution). So I think scientists must stop explaining quantum theory like this to laymans as it is misguided because the way it is explained depends on the interpertation of the one explaining. For example, if you believe that wave function collapse is real, then your explanation would differ.

What is "The environment"? :/ Sean Carroll sees it as just that one emergent result of quantum mechanics that we happen to observe. :O

Carroll is a fucking idiot

I repeated many times to understand this weird phenomena of quantum physics... I like the question, how do we make progress on this..? Can AI solve it ?

quantum universe may only be a projection of information from a 2D surface onto a 3D spatial plane or that stored on a hard drive (be it the fabric of spacetime itself or any material hardware), which takes different forms (such as any animate or inanimate being) or shapes (eg fractals, etc) or data arrangements (ideas..) when an information field interacts following stimuli or fluctuations with another information field and causes information rearrangements and thus new probabilities. The information stored on a bootable device does not have to travel faster than light to explain the instantaneity of entanglement. To us, information is spread out far and wide across the cosmos but from a different dimension's perspective, all info may be stored locally in a single closely knit web of data. There's a limit to the awareness of fish in the ocean about how the ocean works. our extended perception of universe aided by technology may entail a deeper understanding but one which is yet far from the entire picture of only this reality as we now it.

Sorry I'll say what I say often ... totally seems like we are in a computer! As long as it knows the starting point it can tell where everything can and will be. Super positions are just the possibilities until observed. Then the computer makes it appear? I think it's impossible to figure out since we are part of the math. Everything will always overlap and return to a central point and keep us confused

"Why is the quantum so mysterious?" - Because it's wrong, and your intuition is trying to tell you so.. "For the time being we have to admit that we do not possess any general theoretical basis for physics which can be regarded as its logical foundation." (Einstein, 1940) "But maybe that is our mistake: maybe there are no particle positions and velocities, but only waves. It is just that we try to fit the waves to our preconceived ideas of positions and velocities.The resulting mismatch is the cause of the apparent unpredictability." (Stephen Hawking, "A Brief History of Time" 1988) “Science is more than a body of knowledge. It is a way of thinking; a way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. . . If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then, we are up for grabs for the next charlatan (political or religious) who comes rambling along.” -- Carl Sagan, May 27th 1996 “..it is utterly impossible for me to entrust anything to future ages without its first being passed through the hands of those that have an interest in suppressing it.” - Rousseau "..scientific training is not well designed to produce the man who will easily discover a fresh approach." (Kuhn, 1962) "History abundantly shows that people's views of the universe are bound up with their views of themselves and of their society. The debate in cosmology has implications far beyond the realm of science, for it is a question of how truth is known. How these questions are answered will shape not only the history of science, but the history of humanity." (Eric Lerner, 1992) "I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it." (Erwin Schrodinger talking about Quantum Physics) "Mathematics has the completely false reputation of yielding infallible conclusions. Its infallibility is nothing but identity. Two times two is not four, but it is just two times two, and that is what we call four for short. But four is nothing new at all. And thus it goes on and on in its conclusions, except that in the higher formulas the identity fades out of sight." (Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe) "Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality." (Nikola Tesla) “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” ― Upton Sinclair "The skeptic will say: 'It may well be true that this system of equations is reasonable from a logical standpoint. But this does not prove that it corresponds to nature.' - You are right, dear skeptic. Experience alone can decide on truth. ... Pure logical thinking cannot yield us any knowledge of the empirical world: all knowledge of reality starts from experience and ends in it." (Albert Einstein, 1954) "Some things that satisfy the rules of algebra can be interesting to mathematicians even though they don't always represent a real situation." (Richard P. Feynman)

"All these fifty years of conscious brooding have brought me no nearer to the answer to the question, 'What are light quanta?' Nowadays every Tom, Dick and Harry thinks he knows it, but he is mistaken. … I consider it quite possible that physics cannot be based on the field concept, i.e., on continuous structures. In that case, nothing remains of my entire castle in the air, gravitation theory included, [and of] the rest of modern physics." (Albert Einstein, 1954) "Denying realism amounts to megalomania" (Karl Popper, 1975) "Hell is truth seen too late" Thomas Hobbes "I wish, my dear Kepler, that we could have a good laugh together at the extraordinary stupidity of the mob. What do you think of the foremost philosophers of this University? In spite of my oft-repeated efforts and invitations, they have refused, with the obstinacy of a glutted adder, to look at the planets or Moon or my telescope. ... In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." (Galileo Galilei, 1600) "Upon the whole, I am inclined to think that the far greater part, if not all, of those difficulties which have hitherto amused philosophers, and blocked up the way to knowledge, are entirely owing to ourselves. That we have first raised a dust, and then complain we cannot see." (George Berkeley) "To see with one's own eyes, to feel and judge without succumbing to the suggestive power of the fashion of the day, to be able to express what one has seen and felt in a trim sentence or even in a cunningly wrought word- is that not glorious? It is not a proper subject for congratulation?" (Albert Einstein, 1934) "Knowledge exists in two forms - lifeless, stored in books, and alive, in the consciousness of men. The second form of existence is after all the essential one; the first, indispensable as it may be, occupies only an inferior position." (Albert Einstein, 1954) "And isn't it a bad thing to be deceived about the truth, and a good thing to know what the truth is? For I assume that by knowing the truth you mean knowing things as they really are. The philosopher is in love with truth, that is, not with the changing world of sensation, which is the object of opinion, but with the unchanging reality which is the object of knowledge. Truthfulness. He will never willingly tolerate an untruth, but will hate it as much as he loves truth. ... And is there anything more closely connected with wisdom than truth? The object of knowledge is what exists and its function to know about reality." (Plato) "There is nothing more necessary than truth, and in comparison with it everything else has only secondary value. This absolute will to truth: what is it? Is it the will to not allow ourselves to be deceived? Is it the will not to deceive? One does not want to be deceived, under the supposition that it is injurious, dangerous, or fatal to be deceived." (Friedrich Nietzsche, 1890) "The fundamental element of the cosmos is Space. Space is the all-embracing principle of higher unity. Nothing can exist without Space. .. According to ancient Indian tradition the Universe reveals itself in two fundamental properties: as Motion and as that in which motion takes place, namely Space. This Space is called Akasa .. derived from the root kas, 'to radiate, to shine', and has therefore the meaning of ether which is conceived as the medium of movement. The principle of movement, however, is Prana, the breath of life, the all-powerful, all-pervading rhythm of the universe." (Lama Anagarika Govinda, 1969) "Choose only one master, Nature." (Rembrandt) spaceandmotion

consciousness takes the many worlds of the quantum ... and reduces it down to the sequential ... which then becomes our reality .. our human reality ... is then a small part of the universe's computation ..
