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 talk 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.

Why I am Not a Bohmian

A personal look at why I do not subscribe to the Bohmian or hidden variable interpretation of quantum mechanics. I set out the realist assumptions I work with, where Bohmian mechanics appears attractive, and why its non locality, built in uncertainty and practical complexity leave me unconvinced.

It’s All (Quantum) Smoke and Mirrors

An excited atom in an optical cavity becomes a sharp test of quantum timing. Three predictions on when a detector should click, one experimental answer. The result points to entanglement, not anything spooky, as the real driver.

No space, no time, no particles

Quantum reality may not depend on particles, space or time, but on quantum numbers themselves – a shift that reveals a deeper, more elegant view of the universe.

A Thermometer for Measuring Quantumness

At the quantum scale, heat can flow from cold to hot – a phenomenon that offers physicists a simple, non-destructive way to detect entanglement and other quantum effects. This “anomalous” heat flow could help verify quantum computers and even test whether gravity is quantum.
