Description
<p>Everyone has heard of quantum physics. Many of us can parrot its key ideas – uncertainty, entanglement, collapsing the wave function, something to do with a cat…</p><p><br /></p><p>But when it comes to really understanding it, well that’s a different matter altogether. “Anyone who is not shocked by quantum mechanics hasn’t understood it”, wrote the eminent physicist Niels Bohr.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, what is quantum physics? How did it come about? What does it say about ultimate reality? And how might it transform our lives?</p><p><br /></p><p>This week on Reading Our Times, Nick Spencer delves into the quantum realm with scientist Paul Davies to discuss his latest book, Quantum 2.0: The Past, Present, and Future of Quantum Physics. </p><p><br /></p><p>You can buy a copy of Paul's book <a href="https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/457920/quantum-20-by-davies-paul/9780241655801 " target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
