Quantum physics Quote by John Gribbin

In subjects that physicists think of as purely quantum, classical ideas and classical computational techniques can often be powerful.

— Kip Thorne

“Quantum is not only physics. It is a new way of understanding reality.”

— Ludmila Morozova-Buss

“First, some physicists insist that quantum mechanics cannot be formulated without taking into account the minds of observers. They argue that minds cannot be…

— Rupert Sheldrake

“Quantum thinking dissolves the illusion of fixed systems.”

— Ludmila Morozova-Buss

“When theoretical physicists have no clue what something is, how it works or what the hell is going on, they start tacking the term…

— Terence Thirteen

While many questions about quantum mechanics are still not fully resolved, there is no point in introducing needless mystification where in fact no problem…

— Murray Gell-Mann

Theoretical physicists live in a classical world, looking out into a quantum-mechanical world. The latter we describe only subjectively, in terms of procedures and…

— John Stewart Bell

“Quantum computers won't solve humanity's problems, but they might calculate humanity's hardest calculations in hours instead of millennia.”

— Ludmila Morozova-Buss

Quantum physics is no longer an abstract theory for specialists. We must now absolutely include it in our education and also in our culture.

— Claude Cohen-Tannoudji

The problem is that replacement of Quantum Mechanics by Quantum Field Theory is still very demanding.

— Martin Fleischmann

Quantum mechanics broke the mold of the previous framework, classical mechanics, by establishing that the predictions of science are necessarily probabilistic.

— Brian Greene

Classical physics has been superseded by quantum theory: quantum theory is verified by experiments.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

— Carl Friedrich von Weizsacker
