  • Insightful and informative.

    I absolutely enjoy all the insights and perspectives on this podcast I just wish the Ecco wasn’t so dominant on the recording of episode 71. With that said, I enjoy very much this podcast. Thank you. Look forward to see your growth.

  • Excellent podcast!

    This podcast reviews the latest developments in theoretical physics. As a former physicist, this series is great for me. It enables me to keep in touch with the latest ideas from the field I still love. The hosts do a brilliant job talking through ideas, and the topics teachers are always interesting.

    My one criticism is the quality of the sound. I’d be more than happy to contribute to a new microphone if you guys set up a Patreon!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 80: Emergent Decoherent Histories with Philipp Strasberg
Q: How do you define classicality in your research?
A quantum system behaves classical with respect to a certain basis when the histories defined with respect to this basis are decoherent.
Episode 80: Emergent Decoherent Histories with Philipp Strasberg
Q: Could you just tell us a little bit about what you think of de-coherent histories?
I use it as a mathematical tool to describe the evolution of a quantum system in time and how it connects to classical reality through decoherence.
