Quantum Quotes - Page 2

You have to say now that space is something. Space can vibrate, space can fluctuate, space can be quantum mechanical, but what the devil is it?

In relativity, movement is continuous, causally determinate and well defined, while in quantum mechanics it is discontinuous, not causally determinate and not well defined.

Quantum phenomena do not occur in a Hilbert space. They occur in a laboratory.

A philosopher once said, 'It is necessary for the very existence of science that the same conditions always produce the same results.' Well, they don't!

The law of attraction is the law of creation. Quantum physicists tell us that the entire Universe emerged from thought!

Anyone not shocked by quantum mechanics has not yet understood it.

For the most part, quantum theory has been of little practical value in my life.

Doing is a quantum leap from imagining.

Nature allows only experimental situations to occur which can be described within the framework of the formalism of quantum mechanics

The history of the universe is, in effect, a huge and ongoing quantum computation. The universe is a quantum computer.

Quantum physics shows us the universe as a dynamic web of connection.

[Recent evidence regarding quantum mechanics is] sufficient to rule out all theological options but one - the Bible's.

When we cannot look around and explain anything we are the quantum world.

I got into physics through pop science and quantum science and ended up being such a quantum groupie.

In fact any experiment that measures a quantum effect is one in which the quantum effect is aligned with the behavior of some heavy, macroscopic object; that's how we measure it

Faith is not so much a binary pole as a quantum state, which tends to indeterminacy when closely examined.

The most important application of quantum computing in the future is likely to be a computer simulation of quantum systems, because that's an application where we know for sure that quantum systems in general cannot be efficiently simulated on a classical computer.

Classical physics has been superseded by quantum theory: quantum theory is verified by experiments. Experiments must be described in terms of classical physics.

I did my masters in elementary particles. But the foundations of elementary particles is quantum theory and there were too many conceptual problems around quantum theory that I couldn't live with. So I decided I was going to work on the foundations of quantum theory. That's what I did my Ph.D on.

The Quantum Universe has a quotation from me in every chapter - but it's a damn good book anyway.

The love of pelf increases with the pelf. [Lat., Crescit amor nummi quantum ipsa pecunia crescit.]

Quantum est in rebus inane! How much folly there is in human affairs.

I am fascinated by quantum physics.

To have your whole music library with you at all times is a quantum leap in listening to music. How do we possibly do this?

Quantum mechanics is weird. I don't understand it. Just live with it. You don't have to understand the nature of things in order to build cool devices.
