Every time I watch this channel I come away with a head swim. I took a graduate course or two in quantum physics and electronics three decades ago. After watching a few of these videos, I, for the first time, can reflect positively on the teaching pedagogy that made everything mathematical. Basically, the message from instructor to student was "An electron/photon/[fill in the blank] does this or that. Let's derive an equation and work pages of math to establish what that means."

At the time of taking the classes, I felt absolutely comfortable with saying the wavefunction is just a mathematical expression of the probability of outcomes that cannot possibly be known until observed. To me, the particle subject to quantum mechanics was not simultaneously in two (or more) states, but that its actual state just hadn't been observed yet. That meant to me that the superposition of states was just an accounting of the probabilities of what the actual state was. The actual state singularly existed but wasn't known to the observer YET.

Crikey! Matt O'Dowd has made a complete hash of my confidence in the above interpretation of the math, obviously confirming his quote from Feynman that those that think they know how quantum mechanics works, don't!

The silver lining I see in all my confusion is that the idea of "entanglement" is finally starting to bring wavefunctions into focus as much more than uncertainty expressed in abstract math. Instead, wavefunctions appear to be some kind of metaphysical complexity that explodes the mind and hides something truly amazing about the universe.

Matt, keep up the good work while I try to keep up the comprehension as fast as the dialog flies by...

Mike Mazzola

Perhaps. I now realize from watching the PBS Spacetime videos that "my" interpretation described in the second paragraph more closely resembles the EPR interpretation. What I did not know was the history of quantum mechanical interpretations. This history has resolved the EPR paradox in favor of the alternative provided by Bell's theorem. That "my" interpretation is testable and has long since been found to be wrong was news to me!

So why was I in the dark until now? Because I didn't have a need to know. I'm an electrical engineer who did my dissertation research in the area of optical processes in semiconductor materials for a specific application. Later, in my professional career I continued to teach and do research in the area of semiconductor devices. We use, by an large, semiclassical physics to achieve awesome practical results. I once joked that learning about Bloch functions, the Kronig-Penney model, and reciprocal space to understand semiconductor bandgaps was one piece of physics too many for my purposes. However, the fact that I still recall that epiphany is a testament that it did me good.

The real point I was making was about the pedagogy of teaching quantum mechanics (and thus quantum electronics). Whenever a student asked "why" the answer was "just do the math." That there remains a lack of consensus on cosmology at least in part because of a lack of consensus on the interpretation of quantum mechanics brings home the need to spend more time on the history of the interpretations. History is often the last thing a professor spends time on in a "hard" STEM course. There is just "too much material to cover."

Why is my curiosity driving me to revisit a deeper understanding of quantum mechanics? Simple, quantum computing. I have a quasi-professional need to keep track of quantum computing.

Three or four years ago I watched a Google TechTalk on YouTube that was intended to be a quick continuing education course on the theoretical justification for quantum computing. I had grown tired of watching YouTubes by industry leaders trying to explain it to the masses. I knew I needed more formalism. Here is the video I watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I56UugZ_8DI. At the 9:42 mark you can hear the familiar pedagogy stated explicitly.

If I recall correctly, some place else in this video series the lecturer says how he resolves confusion when it becomes hard to believe that quantum mechanics is real. "You just have to put your head down and do the math."

You understand the mind is a dreaming machine? ~~Everything~~ absolutely Everything that goes on in it is dreaming.*No*exceptions, and to try the understand that using the dreaming machine, is identical to a mirror trying to reflect itself.

Until you understand that the mind is a dreaming machine, you will never get out of the hall of mirrors in which you find yourself, but you will *Never*understand that with the mind alone, and all attempts to do so will amount to little more than trying to make bread with a lawnmower.

That Australian wiseacre understands nothing and even less than he understands about consciousness which is not possible for him and thus he can have no experience of it. The mind can be a useful tool but it can no more *"Understand*" than a lawnmower can understand.

If you make a sincere effort to let go of the mind/dreaming machine, you will discover that you simply cannot, any more than you can runaway from or catch, your own shadow, and one of the reasons for that is summed up in the following:
"Always keep tight hold of nurse,

For fear of finding something worse."

Conscious means or translates as With_Knowledge and to speak of it in vacuo without identifying both Whose knowledge and knowledge Of_what is futile. Without that you might as well use stuff in stead of consciousness, and the next step on from that is what?

Can stuff affect how_much(quantum) mechanics?

That rather depends on what sort of stuff you have in mind, does it not?

Will a a lot of waffle about stuff allow you to experience with_knowledge *Now*? and if not now, when?

How can a dreamer experience with_knowledge, *Ever*?

Have you ever experienced the Absolute_Certainty of your own (for yourself)destruction forever or death?

Can you experience in all its vividness that Now? -or whenever you please?

No.

And so it is with With_Knowledge or consciousness.

Why?

Because those that dream are what?

All - Absolutely_All of what goes on in your head/mind is dreaming and you can always detect dreams by their circularity or about_ness; men say talking about*, thinking(they simply cannot) *about if it goes round and round or about it is *dreaming*, simple as that. The perfect still or silent mind does not dream, and to come to that perfect stillness and silence, I must - very simply, loosen that tight grip on or clinging onto the mind? Ah if you can come to that for more than the blink of an eye, you are a better man than I am Gunga Din

Here's my take on the double slit experiment...

The EM field is full of no velocity photons, a Photon moving at C is simply an aperture in space jumping along the SR monodimensional particle space (i.e. does not disturb the EM field an any practical and observable way because no mass is moving only the "hole" in space is moving).

If the photon/particle aperture does interact with the EM field at the slot, you have a range of reactions that can occur depending on where the contact point is in relation to the center of the EM field particle(s).

If it hits the EM field particle dead square on (zero degree offset from the center) the EM field particle will be accelerated directly away from the incoming photon/particle.

If it hits the EM particles exactly in the center of two EM particles the resulting EM field movement will be two particles traveling at half the speed at an angle of 45 degrees offset from the incoming particle.

This is all that is required for the full waveform interference result.

There is no conscious observation required for this reaction :-)

What you are missing is that quanta are not particles. They are energy values. An energy value does, indeed, not exist until it is being measured. And after it is being measured it doesn't exist, either, because energy can only be spent once. Anybody who ever told you anything about particles simple didn't understand quantum mechanics. Other than that your first paragraph was correct. The wave function doesn't describe a system. It describes a quantum mechanical ensemble, i.e. am infinite number of repetitions of the system. It allows you to calculate statistical outcomes and doesn't have anything to say about an individual outcome. It simply tells us what we don't know.

Mike Mazzola

Schmetter Ling

@Mike Mazzola Yes, that was a huge pile of bullshit. ;-)

David VR

2y↑1

@Schmetter Ling Quantum mechanics can tell us that if a system is in an eigenstate of an observable, then we're guaranteed to observe the corresponding eigenvalue with certainty. For example, if a photon has a polarization angle that exactly matches a plane polarizer, then the photon is guaranteed to survive the polarizer and register with a detector. If the polarization if the photon is pi/2 out of phase with the polarizer, then it's guaranteed not to survive the polarizer, and a detector won't register the photon with certainty.

If a system is in a more general state, then quantum mechanics can't tell us what happens in individual cases. It can only give us a probability of different possible outcomes. If we create lots of photons that all have the same polarization, and we pass them through a polarizer, then quantum mechanics tells us the proportion (or probability) that the photons will survive the polarizer and register with a detector. In this case, quantum mechanics can't tell us with certainty what happens to an individual photon. This is because the general state isn't an eigenstate of the observable.

The problem with one person manifesting reality is that there are too many damn people and conflicting perceptions. Even if we could, we would have to fight against billions of other people doing the same thing.

I like how questions such as these all boil down to the differences people's in interpretations of words.

For example, if you define sound as, "Something that my brain perceives as sound," or alternatively, "Vibrations through the air or other materials, that can be heard by a person's ears."

If you define the later option, you simply need to prove that the "vibrations" happened, then you would be correct in saying that the tree did make a sound.
If instead you use the former option, then your simply using a different interpretation of the word 'sound,' which requires the "hearing" part of it.
You could split this definition into two versions, "did you hear it" and "did someone hear it."

Leibniz's solution to this as described in his Monadology was to assume that neither of them actually caused anything outside of themselves at all, and that it was all planned in advance by a monad which subsumed both, much like a movie, in what he called "pre-established harmony"; at the top level he placed the "monas monadum", the "monad of monads", which established the entirety of this harmony, and which he identified with a rational conception of an impersonal absolute.

When you get to infinitely small levels of motion then you have to take into consideration that movement would be in infinite flux. This makes it not a collapse but an error of measurement in which you only see the location at the time of measurement. Which is why you would only see the infinite middle average which would produce what looks like an interference but is actually an error in the slowness of measuring something at such small levels when it is in infinite flux.

Raymond Kidwell

2y↑8

There are experiments that not just the act of measurement is influencing it but the conscious perception of the measurement. In the double split experiment when unobserved the photons act like waves, when observed they act like particles leading to a different pattern of movement on the wall behind it.

To me it just seems like they can’t find a solution because they don’t have all the variables. Maybe there is something that hasn’t been observed yet that is the reason for this confusing behavior.

One of the issues in question, as seen in the Wigner experiment, seems to be: Whether the probabilistic nature ( of the Wave function, or Schroedinger's cat ) is at the very "core" of physical Reality, how the "Electron itself sees it" , or whether it is "just" the - inevitable - result of being an observer. A similar , simple , example: Observer One already "knows", after looking, that the Queen of Hearts lies at the very top of a 52 cards deck. - For Observer Two, however, the same Queen of Hearts is still in a superposition between 52 different states inside the deck. But, other than Einstein, both observers already agree that the deck was indeed thoroughly shuffled. 😉

You're probably going to get to this next time, but it seems like it was very quickly glossed over why Wigner's friend's brain entering a quantum superposition is so problematic. Surely each superposed state of his brain would only be aware of itself, not all the other superposed states, and likewise only be aware of the superposed state of the experimental result that it observed, not all the other superposed states of the experiment result hat resulted in all the friend's other superposed brain states; so when Wigner talks to his friend and so observes his brain state, Wigner only communicates with whichever state his friend's brain "collapses" to, which was unaware of there being any other states superposed with it, just like it's only aware of the one state of the experiment result.

Of course, then Wigner's brain itself has actually just entered a superposition of different states wherein his friend's brain collapsed to different states upon observation, and when you ask Wigner what his friend reported, you'll only interact with whichever of the superposed states you observe Wigner's brain to collapse to... when, in fact, your brain just enters a superposition as well, and so on and so on as the information about the experiment propagates throughout the universe, splitting the entire thing into a superposition of universes where the experiment turned out in the different possible ways.

This is what has turned me against QM from the first time I heard if it. If you model only the experiment in QM, you get different results than if you model both the experiment and the measurement device in QM. You have to stop your QMing at some point, or there is no result, but no link in the von Neumann chain makes any more or less sense than any other. QM is, then, contradictory; you can't observe a result unless you are not governed by QM, therefore QM must not be what governs everything.

I know how impressive the alpha measurement prediction is, and the theory's other various successes. But there are other predictions that are horribly wrong. Why can't anyone seem to acknowledge that QM is, at best, incomplete, and at worst, contradictory? Every time I hear about the conflict with GR, the speaker assumes that GR is the problem. GR has produced predictions just as stunning, and continues to be proven over and over as we make more and better observations. It stands on a perfectly logical set of assumptions. The one and only thing it ever failed is the Bell inequality. But no, we must figure out how Einstein was wrong, because there is no QM representation of gravity.

QM must be incomplete. There is no other possible way to see the measurement problem. The theory of everything will have to dramatically change the concepts of QM, as step one, before it can be taken seriously.

What if We live / experience a given set of collapsed wave functions. Matter tends to synchronize its collapsed state faster than light thanks to quantum entanglement. Just as much as we “see” a very small portion of the light spectrum thought “visible” light , we experience a slice of the space time continuum with our primate senses and brain.

The Quantum Nexus

If the many universes theory holds, then the two observers could be viewing different results, but agree with eachothers alternative selves that those results were the same, because the wave functions have collapsed uniquely for each of us. But then those different perspectives could converge because the the outcome of the experiment is observably the same for both of us: we're both in a timeline where the results were the same.

If one observer exists in a different spacetime location from another observer, then they can never be in the same time. Each observer/location has it's own unique time, so simultaneity can only exist relative to a single observer. It is impossible for anything to happen between two separate observers/locations simultaneously.

To observe the results is to become entangled with the particles. It's very easy to become entangled, it just means these particles bear the consequences of their interaction with those particles. Entanglement can also be cancelled easily, as we know, for example trying to force the results of quantum entanglement. That's because, at that point, the particles no longer bear the consequences of their interaction/creation with the other particle.
It doesn't scale up though because any tiny interaction collapses the wave function and entangles the particles. But to disentangle all of our particles... would require a very large amount of separation. Because they would become entangled again.
From the perspective of far-enough-away particles, we are in a quantum state of superposition.

I suspect my consciousness can manifest reality, at least to some extent; I can move my body at will (and through this movement I can have tremendous indirect effects!) I understand there are a range of deterministic arguments which seek to undermine any connection between consciousness and bodily action, and I tend to find these unconvincing.

Consciousness seems to be the only self-evident fact, ever. All details we witness are uncertain (blurred by the resolution of our eyes, how alert we are, etc.), but the fact that we are witnesses is absolutely certain. This makes me sympathetic to arguments suggesting the primacy of consciousness.

I think a more precise question would be: "Are consciousness and quantum mechanics interconnected?" - we get hung up on this cause and effect conversation when really the more fundamental question is to ask how are these two aspects of our reality connected to each other. What I see here in this video is a beautiful presentation of one of the mysteries we are confronted with as we dive deeper into the properties of our universe. However, the second half of the video is the same old scientific positivist dogma of trying to reason your way out of consciousness being involved. If we are going to land the next big jump in science, I feel we need more imagination than this.

In fact, I re-read passages from that book countless times in different states of mind in attempts to grok the ideas on a subconscious and subliminal level because simply highlighting passages was not enough. Even the title itself seemed to call out to me... like one of those books you'd find in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion that instantly raises your prowess, awareness, and certain abilities when you encounter them.

I think anything with consciousness is one of the most lathed and ths dismissed areas in science for this reason - it forces the smartest ones to say "I actualy have no idea what's going on." They proudly say this with quantum mechanics because they have data that sets them apart from others. Spirtuality and concsiousness is the reason we know anything, why any of this research matters, yet leaves those limited to only the existing scientific paradigm as helpless.

How long after each photon before the next is fired? Could there be a “shadow” or turbulence left behind for the next photon? Possibly even involving “dark matter or energy”? Secondly, could this experiment be performed with photo reactive film (like a slow motion camera)? Thereby eliminating the question of a computer “changing the resultant photon placement”. I’m wondering if the possibility is that each photon emits a sort of electro magnetic field that guides later photons into a pattern that is not too far away but not too close?

In the case of multiple observer, can we think of the exited electrons as a quantum system with its own probabilities, then when an observer joins his act of observing collapses this quantum system, making the observer part of a bigger quantum system including him. Then the second observer does the same and it can go on and on and on and on. Sounds like a good poetic explanation of how we collectively shape our reality.

Me personally I would not say that consciousness collapses the wave function. The wave function is simply a mathematical
one can use to find the probability of an event occurring and once a certain event occurs, the wave function simply becomes irrelevant as a useful tool to measure rather than an actual
collapse. I think there are some physicists who also think this.

Anthony Polonkay

You dont have to have powers of quantum wishing in order for the concious observer to be the causality for collaps.

It seems more obvious that concious observers gaining knowledge just forces the superpositions to pick something in order to maintain reality. Because for us, nothing can be everywhere, and nowhere at once, the subjective conscious experience shows there to be rules to reality,and when a superposition cant be collapsed by decoherence, of previously collapsed particles, then it's only option is collaps by knowledge gained by concious observers.

For 11:35 i just learned about an experiment similar to “double slit” where future observation impact the results that had already occurred. Is that a viable explanation for why both individuals saw the same collapse of the wave function at the same time? Similarly how does consciousness come with a preference towards one collapse over another, couldn’t the wave function just collapse to one result that is the same once observed by anyone?

The whole thing I've always figured is that the imagination is a dimensionless realm that exists solely in the human mind...as far as our current knowledge takes us. Us, as humans, are conduits that channel the information contained in that realm and modulate it into useful, tangible results. Therefore, even imaginary things are technically real. If you made a tangible difference in the universe because of something in your imagination, then you created a reality. Of course, reality is relative to the observer and the observed, and the interaction between them. It's like the tree falling in the forest. If no one heard it, did it fall? It did fall, but if if you didn't know it existed in the first place...if it's image wasn't set in your mind to begin with, then no, it never fell relative to you.

In a game or simulation, any time, place, thing, or event that can be experienced exists all at once within the code. It’s not until a user creates an avatar that all the possibilities within the code collapse onto the one observed by the user.

I'm not a scientist but i've often wondered about how the universe works and I love watching and diving into these videos. If I'm not mistaken Matter is sort of like an energy resonance in the Higgs field, we use this knowledge to find new particles at places like CERN. By putting a massive amounts of energy into one point we essentially force a resonance in a field which manifests as said particle. as the energy breaks down these particles evaporate and new particles resonate at the energy frequency which they can exist. I am curious if the same logic can be applied to time. That being time is a resonance in a field that all energy resonates with at some frequency.

If I "my consciousness" can experience time I must resonate with something at all times. perhaps a singularity of some sort. I imagine all particles I can measure can also resonate with this singularity because it too knows "where" it is. By us attempting to measure space we quantum entangling with said Energy; Is it possible we somehow gain Inherent knowledge of it's current resonance in "time" which gives it what we perceive to be a definite "location" to us. I wonder if the mechanism of this inherent knowledge is the ever consistent speed of time. since we know the speed of time inherently and we can entangle with that object we can resonate with it's time giving us immediate knowledge of it's existence. otherwise known as spooky actions at a distance.

Perhaps if we really are in a Black Hole we resonate with the frequency at which the ringularity spins which would have to be unimaginably quick. if our resonance with this energy field is time and consciousness is our ability to experience our own entanglement this would give us definition. something we can look at in the mirror each day, as all particles eventually slow down and lose energy and become nothing at some point in the far far far future. where no energy can resonate with the singularity anymore, a boundary that matter just can't exist outside. Perhaps though a newer exotic form of matter could exist though one that would decay even slower through time? I'm unsure a lot of this has turned into loopy nonsense though so I think I'll stop there.

If anything thanks for giving me some awesome stuff to think about!

What if the wave function is relative. As soon as two quantum systems interact, their wave probability function collapses, but from outside this system, the wave function of these systems is still intact. In such scenario, consiousness is key to collapsing the wave function, not because anything mystical, but because the consious system has interacted with the quantum system at the moment of measurement. The consious system would not be considered an outside system anymore

Cesar

4y↑3

Redfern Pitcher it has nothing to do with consciousness. I thought i was onto something new here, but i wasn’t. What i call relative, physicist call entangle. In other words, the reason a conscious system collapses a quantum system is because it gets entangled with it, but this also happens with unconscious systems.

Dislexual

Yin Yang

What if the subatomic universe existed within a dimension of its own which is governed entirely by the laws of quantum physics and when interaction to measure the process comes from a source located in the physical dimension then the effect of the physical laws upon the quantum laws causes the collapse?

I’m not here to convince anyone (or I’d go into grave detail and write a short book and not just a long post) but I also used to be pretty closed minded about manifestation/ because it is absurd that I can make anything I desire (or fear) happen with my thoughts. But then it happened and kept happening and the things I manifested were impossible to occur any other way. One example and the one that started it all: (note you have to be center to do this) I meditated and focused on my stock market portfolio going up by $7777.77 the next day. I did this by picturing green 7’s in my minds eye. I had 100k in my account so that would make this a 7% hike- which is very hard to do in one day. The next morning I checked my account and kept a close eye on it upon the market opening. I peeked it and it was at $7007.07, up by 7.7%, and I lost my mind. No it wasn’t $7777.77 exactly but I also didn’t try for that number specifically. I just tried for 7k and pictured a lot of 7’s. I took a screenshot to save the moment. Later that day I shared my story with someone and showed them my screenshot and it was then that I saw the time stamp that read 7:07am. FURTHERMORE, at another time I looked at the image again and that’s when I counted all of the 7’s in my screenshot. Total was 7. From here on, everything I focused on happened. The only theory I can come up with that would allow this to occur is if our reality wasn’t actual real at all. Imagine characters in a video game. They’ve no clue they’re just puppets to someone pressing buttons. That’s us with our consciousness. We are both the puppet master and the puppet. I went 40 years of my life thinking it was all nonsense and now You can’t budge me away from my position. I’ve also experienced a “glitch in the matrix” where my paperwork that I was working on for a month changed on me upon organizing it to mail off. This was after I carefully reviewed it to ensure everything was filled out correctly. When I reviewed it again real quick it was totally different. So this is why I am certain our reality is constantly changing and fully dependent on something we know little about. Then there’s the one time I left my body unexpectedly while meditating- so that confirms for me that I am not my body either. I was fully awake and freaking out in my head (ie consciousness) but as soon as I got very excited, I popped back into my body. Since I was a kid I’ve dreamt my future and then those things would play out exactly the same way in real life. It wasn’t until they happened that my memory was triggered and I recalled the dream. I was in denial about that until all this other stuff started happening. We are consciousness and time doesn’t exist. We can slip into other dimensions where things are very similar or totally different, and that includes the past/present. And we can manifest damn near anything if we are in the right headspace. Which is easier said than done in this stressful, and dense reality. Buttttt I also get that science can’t handle the idea that this is all an illusion. So I respect what y’all believe. I’m not here to convert anyone. Just- usually when I share, SOMEONE can relate. So this post is for those ppl. :)

If your friend is aware of the results of the experiment and instead of getting the results from your friend you check the measuring equipment the same way your friend did, then it should be possible for you to find a different result than your friend did. And if this were truly the state of things this should be the norm rather than the exception. But I suspect, outside of mistakes, this never happens. So a probability wave collapse almost certainly occurs prior to conscious observation.

kalancag

Unless of course you share the conscious awareness with your friend and there is no way for a different result if at least one conscious awareness records the result of the experiment. If you think of it as a spinning wheel which stops when someone looks at it and keeps spinning only when no one is watching, the results can be different only when one observer has no access to the other's observation, or in other words, there is no way to agree or disagree upon their observations.

My biggest concern with quantum is our irresponsibility with quantum tunneling. If we change one electron, we can see it change another electron but, we can't see how many other electrons it changes as well. Since physics doesn't really seem to be too concerned about the direction of the flow of time, this can be a serious problem if we're changing the properties of a bunch of electrons all willy-nilly

Any experiment has to be designed and arranged by someone and thus is human-centric, an 'arranged' perception.

A change of perspective generates a corresponding change of perception.

I love that solipsism was brought up. All these new "quantum mystics" telling people to "manifest" their futures, etc. I can only imagine a "manifesting" battle between all the "manifesters" trying to manifest items/events that may, or may not conflict with each other's individual manifestations...
It's easy when you're the only ACTUAL person in the universe tho...

"and more electrical signals in other parts of the brain results in an subjective sense..." Nice way to say "and then a miracle occurs". We have no idea how any physical descriptions could explain consciousness. Its one of the most hardest problems around. It's just an assumption that brain creates mind because of a pure materialist paradigm.. even Integrated information theory, which tried to explain consciousness in physical terms ended up at a panpsychism metaphysics..

why can't consciousness manifest reality? we do it all the time. but it's never instant. sometimes it takes years to influence a world. some people have a knack for it... which is in the end a quantum event of you look closely. Even us mere mortals have the power to bring light into a room when we demand it, close to just thinking about just turning the light on is possible. it's complicated.

Hi PBS, I have a question, please: In this case, it's said that the particle "collapses", meaning it abandons its wave-like nature and starts to behave like a particle. However, the uncertainty principle guarantees us a certain indeterminacy in the physical properties of this particle. Therefore, couldn't I say that this "collapse into a particle state" is actually a decrease in the degrees of freedom of this particle/wave to the point where it's just convenient to treat it as a particle? My point is: This particle still essentially has wave-like behavior, right?
