Quantum Physics: Understanding the Basics

 Key concepts discussed include:

• Wave-particle duality, where light behaves both as a wave and as a particle depending on how it is observed.
• Superposition, illustrated by Schrödinger’s cat, where particles exist in multiple states simultaneously until observed.
• Quantum entanglement, where two entangled particles affect each other instantaneously, no matter the distance.

Blake emphasizes that although quantum physics seems strange, its principles are driving revolutionary technologies like quantum computing. The episode encourages listeners to embrace the wonder of the quantum world.
