My dad is 90 today. He’s holding the book he just wrote about quantum physics, which provides a common-sense solution to the measurement problem. It’s one of quantum physics’ greatest conundrums. (The solution involves understanding the nature of quantum entanglement.)

Does anyone actually understand quantum physics?
We asked six physicists why they’re still arguing after 100 years of quantum mechanics

we actually understand how quantum physics works pretty damn well.
What's something that experts/practitioners in your field universally agree upon, but that remains a "hot take" among the general public?

![Grok: Quantum mechanics is the fundamental physical theory that describes the behavior of matter and of light; its unusual characteristics typically occur at and below the scale of atoms.[1]: 1.1 It is the foundation of all quantum physics , which includes quantum chemistry, quantum field theory, quantum technology, and quantum information science. Quantum mechanics can describe many systems that classical physics cannot. Classical physics can describe many aspects of nature at an ordinary (macroscopic and (optical) microscopic) scale, but is not sufficient for describing them at very small submicroscopic (atomic and subatomic) scales. Classical mechanics can be derived from quantum mechanics as an approximation that is valid at ordinary scales.[2] Quantum systems have bound states that are quantized to discrete values of energy, momentum, angular momentum, and other quantities, in contrast to classical systems where these quantities can be measured continuously. Measurements of quantum systems show characteristics of both particles and waves (wave–particle duality), and there are limits to how accurately the value of a physical quantity can be predicted prior to its measurement, given a complete set of initial conditions (the uncertainty principle). Quantum mechanics arose gradually from theories to explain observations that could not be reconciled with classical physics, such as Max Planck's solution in 1900 to the black-body radiation problem, and the correspondence between energy and frequency in Albert Einstein's 1905 paper, which explained the photoelectric effect. These early attempts to understand microscopic phenomena, now known as the "old quantum theory", led to the full development of quantum mechanics in the mid-1920s by Niels Bohr, Erwin Schrödinger, Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, Paul Dirac and others. The modern theory is formulated in various specially developed mathematical formalisms. In one of them, a mathematical entity called the wave function pr…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4usmserhjqkvhldgedfjb3jw/bafkreibma2xcginpta3fd2epfhzjpdx4blecyqtjsrvfrh5bspmmosgx6y)

If someone starts talking to me about quantum physics, I know with near certainty that they know less than nothing about actual quantum physics. If they're winding up about 'quantum states' or 'superpositions' I have about 8 seconds to evacuate before they bring up telepathy.

oh. uh, i was on a call last week with a guy talking about quantum. and he just kept saying keep a lookout for quantum, we want quantum, when you hear quantum we want you to think of us. he never once said "quantum physics" or "quantum computing", just quantum. so i bet they also think it's quantum

Yes, and I have a "complicated relationship" with quantum physics. In the sense that, like Donald and the Bible, I've never studied it and have no understanding of it.
