Numerical simulations show how the classical world might emerge from the many-worlds universes of quantum mechanics
Hugh Everett III developed the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics in his 1957 PhD thesis at Princeton. He left physics after graduate school to work for the US military. Credit:…
Ordinary fruit enhances performance of quantum sensors
Experimental setup to couple MWs to N- 𝑉s using grape dimers. A stripped optical fiber with N- 𝑉 spins, cantilevered from a rod, lies between two grapes. The grapes were…
