Subquantum physics: nonlocality, pilot-waves & breaking the Born rule with Prof Antony Valentini
Quantum theory appears to allow some kind of connection between entangled particles, but not enough to send messages. Antony Valentini argues this is a conspiracy: there must be something deeper than…
A new theory of quantum & spacetime with Prof. Gerard Milburn
What if quantum particles have no gravity? In this episode of the Quantum Foundations Podcast, Professor Gerard Milburn explains how this radical idea could solve open problems in quantum theory and…
Deriving probability in quantum many-worlds with Dr Tony Short
If there really is a quantum reality for every possible outcome of a measurement, then where do measurement probabilities come from? Dr Tony Short at the University of Bristol has used a set of…
Solving nonlocality with fractals, chaos & counterfactuals | Prof. Tim Palmer
The notion of true quantum nonlocality is absurd. Prof Tim Palmer from the University of Oxford suggests that there is a hidden assumption in standard quantum mechanics, and dropping it will save us…
Testing quantum observers on quantum computers with Dr Will Zeng
What if you could put an observer in superposition on a quantum computer? Dr Will Zeng suggests that this experiment could stretch standard quantum theory so far that it might break — and radically…
Conservation laws with Dr Chiara Marletto
Our most far-reaching principles of physics are not about what changes, but what stays the same: conservation laws. In this episode of the Quantum Foundations Podcast, Dr Chiara Marletto from the…
Quantum, cryptography & metacomplexity with Oxford Computer Scientist Matthew Gray
You’ve heard of cryptography. Perhaps quantum cryptography too. Maybe even post-quantum cryptography. But what about *quantum post-quantum cryptography*?! When this came up in conversation with…
A quantum theory of time with Dr Simone Rijavec
What if time isn’t fundamental — but emerges from quantum mechanics itself? In this episode, Dr Simone Rijavec explains how a timeless quantum universe can still give rise to the illusion of time…
Quantum Information meets Cosmology with Dr Aditya Iyer
From the Big Bang puzzles to testing if the early universe was quantum entangled — physicist Dr Aditya Iyer, from the University of Oxford, explains how quantum phenomena are key to understanding…
Constructor Theory of Information with Dr Chiara Marletto
What if we don't need quantum mechanics to express the key properties of quantum information? Join me for a deep-dive into the Constructor Theory of information with Dr Chiara Marletto, Research…
Testing Quantum Gravity & Reality with Prof. Vlatko Vedral
In this episode of the Quantum Foundations Podcast, I'm joined by Professor Vlatko Vedral from the University of Oxford. We discuss modern and historic experimental proposals for testing quantum…
QBism, Relational QM & Wigner's Friend with Dr Andrea Di Biagio
I interview Dr Andrea Di Biagio, who is a postdoctoral research fellow at IQOQI Vienna. We discuss Andrea's journey through interpretations of quantum theory, including QBism, Relational Quantum…
Everettian Quantum Theory with Dr Sam Kuypers
I interview Dr Sam Kuypers, who is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Université de Montréal. We discuss the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, also known as Everettian quantum…
Does quantum reality emerge from causation? Feat. Dr Nick Ormrod
I interview Dr Nick Ormrod, who recently completed his DPhil at the University of Oxford and is now a post-doctoral research fellow at the Perimeter Institute in Canada. We discuss the new…
Locality in Quantum Physics Explained with Dr Nicetu Tibau Vidal
Welcome to Episode 1 of my new Quantum Foundations podcast! I interview Dr Nicetu Tibau Vidal, a Research Fellow at the University of Hong Kong. We discuss locality in quantum physics, informed by…
