Superposition Quotes

“There are many, many, many worlds branching out at each moment you become aware of your environment and then make a choice.”
― Kevin Michel, Moving Through Parallel Worlds To Achieve Your Dreams

“Choice, is what presents us with a multitude of paths, because choice creates a flow of electrons through the brain in a manner that inexorably leads to quantum superposition, and the many-worlds that are the inevitable result.”
― Kevin Michel, Moving Through Parallel Worlds To Achieve Your Dreams

“Quantum Machine Learning is defined as the branch of science and technology that is concerned with the application of quantum mechanical phenomena such as superposition, entanglement and tunneling for designing software and hardware to provide machines the ability to learn insights and patterns from data and the environment, and the ability to adapt automatically to changing situations with high precision, accuracy and speed. ”
― Amit Ray, Quantum Computing Algorithms for Artificial Intelligence

“Like the very quantum particles we study, we must be comfortable allowing our view of the world to exist in superposition.”
― Kevin Michel, Moving Through Parallel Worlds To Achieve Your Dreams

“Decoherence is what destroys the possibility of observing macroscopic superpositions – including Schrödinger’s live/dead cat. And this has nothing to do with observation in the normal sense: we don’t need a conscious mind to ‘look’ in order to ‘collapse the wavefunction’. All we need is for the environment to disperse the quantum coherence. This happens with extraordinary efficiency – it’s probably the most efficient process known to science. And it is very clear why size matters here: there is simply more interaction with the environment, and therefore faster decoherence, for larger objects.”

“Norma: “...We’ll kill Silena?”

Smar: “...She’s in superposition anyway.”

Angie: “And in supoorposition.”

Norma: “I’m not following.”

Smar: “Me, Quantum Mechanics.”

Angie: “Me, Dumbum Mechanics.”

“That’s the concept of superposition,” Jean said. “Being in more than one place, or more than one state, at the same time.”
― David Walton, Superposition

“If, years later, I do use the slit detector to observe which way the electron went, it will mean that many years earlier the electron must have passed through one slit or the other. But if I don't use the "slit detector," then the electron must have passed through both slits. This is, of course, extremely weird. My actions at the beginning of the twenty-first century can change what happened thousands of years ago when the electron began its journey. It seems that just as there are multiple futures, there are also multiple pasts, and my acts of observation in the present can decide what happened in the past. As much as it challenges any hope of ever really knowing the future, quantum physics asks whether I can ever really know the past. It seems that the past is also in a superposition of possibilities that crystallize only once they are observed.”

“While futurists imagine multiple possible futures, quantum physicists research multiple present realities.”
