PhD student Harsh Rathee explores an experiment from Imperial’s Quantum Measurement Lab, which captures the peculiar nature of the quantum world.
Quantum physics is captivating yet perplexing, contrasting sharply with our everyday experiences. The allure and mystery surrounding the term “quantum” has unfortunately led to misconceptions in the general public. Hollywood has capitalised on this mystery, portraying quantum physics as the basis for instantaneous teleportation, time travel, and multiple dimensions.
While some of these explanations contain a kernel of truth, they often rely on a leap of faith to explain groundbreaking scientific advancements. However, it is important to note that the real-world progress in quantum technology is far from dull.
