Vlatko Vedral

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.

Quantum Tunnelling and Energy Conservation Whodunit

I’m back in a less angry mode and would like to tell you about a topic that I revisited with some friends and colleagues last week. We met in the beautiful Piedmont’s village of Cocconato for three days and – over some cheese and (a copious amount of) wine – debated a number of fundamental aspects of quantum physics.

I am a bit fed up with some stuff I keep hearing about and I’d like to get things off my chest. I apologise in advance for the seemingly angry tone of this blog, but I just feel compelled to write about it.

Real numbers and reality

We’ve all learnt that the complex numbers play a fundamental role in quantum physics, while – in classical physics – they are just a matter of mere convenience.

The B-M-V Effect

I’d like to tell you about testing quantum gravity in the lab. It is possible to do so and this is surprising because gravity is by far the weakest of all the forces (I might devote another blog to arguments why gravity can never be tested to be quantum!)
