The Challenge of Understanding Quantum Mechanics
08:35 - 13:23 (04:47)
The classical world is so ingrained in our minds that it can be difficult to truly understand and appreciate the intricacies of quantum mechanics, which is necessary for the development of quantum technologies like quantum computers. Even renowned physicists like Einstein and Schrödinger were initially resistant to the concepts of quantum mechanics.

Summary
While classical physics has real-world applications, the discrimination towards the quantum world is mainly due to the incomplete understanding of the latter. Concepts like what defines a measurement or ways to experimentally distinguish different theories are yet to be thoroughly explored and understood.
