It is true that quantum science has informed the development of better conventional chips and conductors, but this is like saying that it has helped to develop better internal combustion engines (which is also true). Quantum…

  • A new ontology for quantum physics

    Abstract This note outlines a “probability-field” interpretation of quantum mechanics.  The proposal takes standard mathematics —especially the path-integral—as a direct description of reality rather than of hidden objects.  In this view, probabilities themselves are the primitive ontology: physical reality is a dynamically evolving field of structured probability.  Measurement means a momentary local stabilization of one…
