Quantum Quotes

Professor [Max] Planck of Berlin, the famous originator of the Quantum theory, once remarked to me that in early life he had thought of studying economics, but had found it too difficult! Picture Quote #1

It is a bizarre world. It is an upside down, inside out, quantum physics world. It is the eve of destruction in America Picture Quote #1

Practically and commercially speaking, a dollar is not necessarily a specific thing, made of silver, or gold, or any other single metal, or substance. It is only such a quantum of market value as exists in a given piece of silver or gold Picture Quote #1

If you start any large theory, such as quantum mechanics, plate tectonics, evolution, it takes about 40 years for mainstream science to come around. Gaia has been going for only 30 years or so Picture Quote #1

Quantum computation is... a distinctively new way of harnessing nature... It will be the first technology that allows useful tasks to be performed in collaboration between parallel universes Picture Quote #1

The scientists often have more unfettered imaginations than current philosophers do. Relativity theory came as a complete surprise to philosophers, and so did quantum mechanics, and so did other things Picture Quote #1

Nevertheless, all of us who work in quantum physics believe in the reality of a quantum world, and the reality of quantum entities like protons and electrons Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The field of quantum valence fluctuations was another older interest which became much more active during this period, partly as a consequence of my own efforts Picture Quote #1

In relativity, movement is continuous, causally determinate and well defined, while in quantum mechanics it is discontinuous, not causally determinate and not well defined Picture Quote #1

If anybody says he can think about quantum physics without getting giddy, that only shows he has not understood the first thing about them Picture Quote #1

If quantum mechanics hasn’t profoundly shocked you, you haven’t understood it yet Picture Quote #1

Doing is a quantum leap from imagining. Thinking about swimming isn’t much like actually getting in the water. Actually getting in the water can take your breath away. The defense force inside of us wants us to be cautious, to stay away from anything as intense as a new kind of action. Its job is to protect us, and it categorically avoids anything resembling danger. But it’s often wrong. Anything worth doing is worth doing too soon Picture Quote #1

I believe that the quantum of our knowledge will increase considerably in the coming years and that scientists will continue to be amongst the brave voices speaking out Picture Quote #1

According to the standard model billions of years ago some little quantum fluctuation, perhaps a slightly lower density of matter, maybe right where we’re sitting right now, caused our galaxy to start collapsing around here Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t have thought that a wrong theory should lead us to understand better the ordinary quantum field theories or to have new insights about the quantum states of black holes Picture Quote #1

The girl I find who wants to talk about quantum theory in a bar is the one I want to marry Picture Quote #1

Quantum theory was split up into dialects. Different people describe the same experiences in remarkably different languages. This is confusing even to physicists Picture Quote #1

Quantum theory provides us with a striking illustration of the fact that we can fully understand a connection though we can only speak of it in images and parables Picture Quote #1

When you look at a vacuum in a quantum theory of fields, it isn’t exactly nothing Picture Quote #1

It is often stated that of all the theories proposed in this century, the silliest is quantum theory. In fact, some say that the only thing that quantum theory has going for it is that it is unquestionably correct Picture Quote #1

Everybody recognizes that if you can make very efficient electric motors, you can make a quantum leap forward Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it Picture Quote #1

I recently forced myself to read a book on quantum physics, just to try and learn something new. I was confused by the middle of the first sentence and it all went downhill from there. The only thing I can remember learning is that a parallel universe can theoretically be contained on the head of a needle. I don’t really know what that means, but I am now more careful handling needles Picture Quote #1

And a new philosophy emerged called quantum physics, which suggest that the individual’s function is to inform and be informed. You really exist only when you’re in a field sharing and exchanging information. You create the realities you inhabit Picture Quote #1

I believe we are on the edge of a quantum leap into a whole new way of organizing and living as a human family Picture Quote #1

If you aren’t confused by quantum mechanics, you haven’t really understood it Picture Quote #1

Classical physics has been superseded by quantum theory: quantum theory is verified by experiments. Experiments must be described in terms of classical physics Picture Quote #1

Nature allows only experimental situations to occur which can be described within the framework of the formalism of quantum mechanics Picture Quote #1
