Interview with me by Essentia Foundation with Hans Busstra and Lidia de Rio youtu.be/w1K6LDpF7mA?si=nUqg…
Matt Leifer retweeted
Quantum foundations was once a niche field—now it’s gaining momentum. In our latest interview, Matt Leifer (@mattleifer) discusses how perceptions of quantum mechanics have shifted, questions that remain, and his work on quantum agency. Read more: bit.ly/3XAFFFl

For the record, I am a physicist. I am not a member of the "grey tribe". Einstein was a genius, but von Neumann is my scientific hero. Those who are denigrating him as "merely" technically gifted do not understand the enormity and diversity of his achievements.
I am looking for a doctoral student in quantum foundations. Please pass the info on to people looking for studentships mattleifer.info/2024/10/28/d…
A Nobel prize I can definitely get behind

The physics community is complicit in the development and use of nuclear weapons, which is why we should all learn the history and be extra scrupulous when it comes to the ethical implications of our work.
Hey physicists, did you ever want to know how the literary community felt when Bob Dylan won the #NobelPrize for literature? Well, now you do!
Argue that we should not consider journal titles when evaluating papers. Publish it in Nature. Weird flex, but OK. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
Time for some shameless self-promotion. I just have to correct our president's quote. We are already the USA's premier center of excellence for quantum foundations. news.chapman.edu/2024/08/05/…
Former @UWaterloo and @Perimeter student Ding Jia has started a podcast "Debates in Science" and I am on the first episode youtu.be/5pIeWkANClc?si=U7Yo…
And finally, the full series including the debate is now out youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…
I don't understand why scientists are always shocked by such news. We are in a space race. The US and USSR did not send their prototype rockets to each other, no matter how useless they were. That is what is going on here. newscientist.com/article/243…
Like this video on YouTube so that my kid's class wins a science competition. Thanks!

Looks very useful.
The great @FrederikvomEnde has started a really nice "Counterexamples in quantum information" document -- assembling counter-intuitive results from across the literature
It would be great to spread and contribute!
