Quantum Quotations | Page 2

It is virtually impossible to separate Quantum from Karla, no matter what they say in business-school textbooks.

It shares the attitude of those who worked in the field of quantum mechanics, who posited the wave-particle duality, despite the fact that to some it smacked of the supernatural.

The observations are spectacular and the conclusions are stunning. It shows that galaxies are nothing but quantum mechanics writ large across the sky.

Not that I'm trying to put myself on the same plateau as coach Olson, but it struck me that he was very successful at Iowa, a well-established program in the Big Ten, and he made a quantum leap to Arizona at a similar stage in his career.

It seems absolutely bizarre that counterfactual computation - using information that is counter to what must have actually happened - could find an answer without running the entire quantum computer. But the nature of quantum interrogation makes this amazing feat possible.

The verbal interpretation, on the other hand, i.e. the metaphysics of quantum physics, is on far less solid ground. In fact, in more than forty years physicists have not been able to provide a clear metaphysical model.

I know the tribal issues. I was a congressman where most of the Indians are in this state. The problem is that most of them aren't Indians. The average Cherokee quantum is 1/512.

In a sense, it is the possibility that the algorithm could run which prevents the algorithm from running. That is at the heart of quantum interrogation schemes, and to my mind, quantum mechanics doesn't get any more mysterious than this.

If you're looking for a quantum leap, you're looking for it from blokes who have been in the system for six or seven years, who have not really taken the game yet by a stranglehold who may have the ability to do so.

In order to make major quantum increases in oil, we need to have production-sharing agreements, but that has to wait until after the formation of parliament,

I really think that for us to begin the quantum leap into the next level, we're going to have to do that either with a single or several transforming transactions.

In the second half of the 20th century our country launched the first artificial space satellite and sent the first man into space, built the first-ever passenger jet, the first nuclear reactor and the first quantum generator. Such a research potential cannot dissipate overnight no matter how adverse the circumstances.

In science fiction, basic doubts featured prominently in the worlds of Philip K. Dick. I knew Phil for 25 years, and he was always getting onto me, a scientist. He was a great fan of quantum uncertainty, epistemology in science, the lot.

I think 16 would be a quantum leap, where you're changing the entire outlook of the NFL,

He's taking a single word from the realm of science -- quantum -- and using it in ways that are meaningless, ... It's an attempt to use science to prove your faith.

Entanglement is not one but rather the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics.

This is a quantum universe ... neither random nor determined. It is potential at every second. All you can do is intervene.

I build quantum computers that store information on individual atoms and then massage the normal interactions between the atoms to make them compute.

How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics!

I'd love to go back to Europe in the '20s and '30s, for the beginning of the Psychoanalytic Movement, and Freud and Jung, and all that was going on with discoveries in quantum physics. The whole nature of reality was changing and being challenged.

I believe anything is possible.Research into quantum physicsproves that a system changessimply by someone observing it.Therefore, all you have to do is beawake and aware of your environment,and that enables you totransform everything around you.It sounds like hocus pocus, butscientists are coming to realize thatjust thinking about something canmake it happen. Turns out maybefaith can move mountains.

For the first time, we can produce pulses of photons that are regular and reliable enough to be used as a clock in quantum computing, for example, from something we can make almost as easily as any other semiconductor.

Everybody recognizes that if you can make very efficient electric motors, you can make a quantum leap forward.

We are analog beings living in a digital world, facing a quantum future.

Unconsciously transmitting ideas to the other MC way back when............,,,..#quantum

I believe the human race is ready to make a quantum leap forward spiritually and morally.

Common sense has no place in Quantum Mechanics.

The history of the universe is, in effect, a huge and ongoing quantum computation. The universe is a quantum computer.

Quantum mechanics is weird. I don't understand it. Just live with it. You don't have to understand the nature of things in order to build cool devices.

Anyone who can contemplate quantum mechanics without getting dizzy hasn't understood it.

Anyone not shocked by quantum mechanics has not yet understood it.

Anybody who is not shocked by this subject has failed to understand it. [of quantum mechanics]

Quantum theory also tells us that the world is not simply objective; somehow it's something more subtle than that. In some sense it is veiled from us, but it has a structure that we can understand.

Quantum physics fluctuates all the time. But now the fluctuations are not just particles coming into and out of existence, which happens all the time. It's whole universes coming into and out of existence.

No language which lends itself to visualizability can describe quantum jumps.

Faith is not so much a binary pole as a quantum state, which tends to indeterminacy when closely examined.

There's far more truth in the Book of Genesis than in the quantum theory.

All of a sudden the supply challenge will be taking a quantum leap.

The e-business infrastructure is built upon a variety of applications running on different platforms across different networking protocols -- and they all need to share data. Universal access to data is a quantum leap towards the industry's goal of interoperability.

The device is important for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it's fabricated in a similar way to an ordinary semiconductor light emitter, and secondly it produces entangled photons on demand. The latter means we can trigger the generation of entangled photons with an external clock signal, essential for many applications in quantum computing.

If you have nothing in quantum mechanics, you will always have something.

Quantum mechanics makes absolutely no sense.

No one really understands quantum mechanics.

The Quantum Universe has a quotation from me in every chapter - but it's a damn good book anyway.

A philosopher once said, 'It is necessary for the very existence of science that the same conditions always produce the same results.' Well, they don't!

The law of attraction is the law of creation. Quantum physicists tell us that the entire Universe emerged from thought!

It seems sensible to discard all hope of observing hitherto unobservable quantities, such as the position and period of the electron... Instead it seems more reasonable to try to establish a theoretical quantum mechanics, analogous to classical mechanics, but in which only relations between observable quantities occur.

I am fascinated by quantum physics.

We are thankful for good-will rather than for services, for the motive than the quantum of favor received.

If [quantum theory] is correct, it signifies the end of physics as a science.

The more one chases the quanta, the better they hide themselves.

Quantum mechanics is very impressive. But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory yields a lot, but it hardly brings us any closer to the secret of the Old One. In any case I am convinced that He doesn't play dice

To have your whole music library with you at all times is a quantum leap in listening to music. How do we possibly do this?

The realm of quanta is how I have intrinsically approached and viewed reality since I was born.
