Natural selection acts on the quantum world
... Now, Zurek and colleagues have proved a mathematical theorem that shows the pointer states do actually coincide with the states probed by indirect measurements of a system's environment. "The environment is modified so that it contains an imprint of the pointer state," he says. All together now Yet ...

REVIEW OF WAVE MECHANICS
... In some texts the right-hand-side may be quoted differently, although it will always involve Planck’s constant. This means that they are using slightly different definitions of uncertainty to ours and is not a cause for concern. The principle is the same, that there is limit to how well conjugate va ...

Brief introduction to quantum mechanics
... A very elementary approach to Quantum mechanics „There was a time when newspapers said that only twelve men understood the theory of relativity. I do not believe that there ever was such a time... On the other hand, I think it is safe to say that no one understands quantum mechanics“ R.P. Feynman Th ...

The Learnability of Quantum States
