Events that could have happened but didn’t, so called counterfactual events, are but a mind-game in our reality. In quantum reality, however, they are quite real indeed. In this video I explain how this can be used to do a computation without actually running the computer. This is called “counterfactual computation” (or “counterfactual quantum computation” […]

Here’s another stellar video from Sabine Hossenfelder. Today I tell you what happened when I wrote an opinion piece for the Guardian about quantum computing, had to explain what a qubit is, and decided against using the phrase that it “can be in two states at the same time”. What happened next and what did […]

In the past years you may have seen headlines claiming that objective reality does not exist because some quantum mechanics experiment has shown it. In this video Sabine Hossenfelder explains what this is all about and why this experiment doesn’t show that reality doesn’t exist.

Why is Quantum Mechanics Weird?
In her efforts to demystify quantum mechanics, YouTuber Sabine Hossenfelder, has done quite a few videos on the topic. In this video she explains exactly why quantum mechanics is weird. Is it entanglement or superpositions? Schrödinger’s cats? Not quite, really. But the famous Elitzur-Vaidman Bomb Experiment demonstrates well just why quantum mechanics is weird indeed. […]

Why the Hype Around Hypersonics?
The 21st century is about 20% over and, among the things we were promised, was hypersonic transport. Recently, there’s been a surge of hype around hypersonic technology. Everyone is suddenly talking about hypersonic flight and hypersonic missiles! Is it all just hype? Or will we really see super-fast airplanes in the near future? How much […]
