If you read the article, let me know your comments! Did it change your view on the quantum eraser? The role of observers in quantum mechanics? The nature of entanglement? Did it demystify the experiment, or generate more questions?

As per my usual style, it opens with a thought experiment:

"...This text is actually in a superposition of many different articles, but only one of them gets copied into your memory..."

Find out insights from @jonterhance.bsky.social,
@loricatani.bsky.social, Johannes Fankhauser, and my own take, together with great visuals from illustrator @shreshthamayank.bsky.social.

The quantum eraser is often claimed to show that quantum physics lets us "influence the past". But is that really the case? How do modern researchers in quantum foundations use and interpret the quantum eraser thought experiment? It's weird β€” but maybe not in the way you'd expect.

Three reasons you should care about quantum! Watch until the end to see a real @oqc-tech.bsky.social quantum computer.

Had fun making this collab video with the Institute of Physics.

Had a great time finding out the latest state-of-the-art from researchers in quantum computing and quantum error correction; seeing familiar faces; meeting new people & exploring the busy exhibition halls.

Cool to see what’s happening on all kinds of aspects of quantum!

My podcast on the Constructor Theory of Information with Dr Chiara Marletto is out now!

We have a detailed discussion spanning the foundations and applications of this unifying approach to information and quantum theory.

Always liked the no-cloning theorem in quantum information science… such a simple proof combined with far-reaching consequences for physics!

My talk "Developments in superconducting erasure qubits for hardware-efficient quantum error correction", which I gave for the Warsaw Quantum Computing Group last week, is now out on YouTube!

Feat. my new fav way of depicting the idea of co-design in quantum computing... Escher's Drawing Hands!
