Quantising Emptiness

I’ve long been drawn to the Buddhist idea of emptiness, not as nihilism but as a way of thinking differently about causes and absolutes. Set alongside relativity and quantum physics, it raises a question I keep returning to: whether even the laws of physics might themselves be relational.

One Quantum Thing After Another

Time feels as if it flows, yet physics never measures it directly. What we call time is always inferred from change, whether through planetary motion, atomic clocks, or gravity itself. When quantum effects enter the picture, the question becomes sharper: is time a basic feature of reality, or a convenient way of describing how things happen?

It’s Entanglement, Not Complementarity

Why quantum physics does not need observers, wave–particle duality, or Copenhagen-style collapse. Using modern experiments we show how entanglement alone explains interference, measurement, and uncertainty, without putting human knowledge at the centre of reality.

Everything in the universe is a quantum wave

Quantum mechanics has faced no experimental challenge for a century, yet we still argue over how to understand it. This essay by Vlatko Vedral – originally published in iai.tv – proposes a radical answer: abandon classical ideas entirely and treat everything as interacting quantum waves, with reality fully quantum.

Unfinished business (pt II): Fixing the “biggest problem” in physics

Listen in to Vlatko Vedral’s appearance on Babbage, The Economist’s weekly science and technology podcast. He discusses the long standing divide between quantum and classical physics, why it creates deep conceptual problems and how a single, consistent framework could resolve them.

An Oxford Physicist Is Shaking Up Our Understanding of Reality

Vlatko Vedral talks to the Next Big Idea Club and shares five insights from his new book Portals to a New Reality, outlining why quantum information sits at the heart of physical law, how gravity and life may both be quantum, and why our own perception could be holding us back from understanding the true nature of reality.
