Hello!

I’m Vlatko,

I am the Professor of Quantum Information Theory at the University of Oxford.  I spend a lot of my time thinking about what quantum mechanics actually means, and how it affects everything and everyone around us.

The Principle of “No Minor Tweaking”

The fact that quantum physics is somehow “tighter” than classical has been advocated a number of times by many different people. A tighter description of reality usually is considered a better explanation for the observable phenomena, but what does ‘tighter’ actually mean?
