Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Solving nonlocality with fractals, chaos & counterfactuals | Prof. Tim Palmer
Q: What does dropping the assumption of counterfactual definiteness mean for quantum mechanics?
Tim discusses how this change would affect the interpretation of quantum mechanics, especially in the context of Bell's theorem and wave-particle duality.
Solving nonlocality with fractals, chaos & counterfactuals | Prof. Tim Palmer
Q: What are the problems in quantum mechanics that need solving?
Tim outlines the measurement problem, the disconnect between quantum states and measurement outcomes, and the implications of Bell's theorem.
Solving nonlocality with fractals, chaos & counterfactuals | Prof. Tim Palmer
Q: Could you just tell us a bit about how you became interested in these topics in quantum mechanics and what your pathway has been to this point?
Tim Palmer shares his unconventional journey from a passion for general relativity to an exploration of chaos theory and quantum mechanics, revealing how his career has evolved and led to his current research.
Testing quantum observers on quantum computers with Dr Will Zeng
Q: What motivated your interest in testing observers in quantum mechanics?
The tension in the definition of observers and the measurement problem, coupled with the excitement about recent developments in experiments.
Quantum Information meets Cosmology with Dr Aditya Iyer
Q: Are you puzzled?
Absolutely, the flatness problem indicates that if the universe is flat today, it must have been even flatter in the past, raising questions about initial conditions.
