YouTube – Quantum Shorts – Superpose

The uncertainty of two particles, two wavefunctions meeting on a subway train.

We’re down to the last few of these quantum shorts. But that’s okay because I found a second volume of them. I’ll have to record them, then I can upload them.

Today’s reading is Superpose by Yuen Xiang Hao.

Yuen Xiang Hao teaches physics and astronomy at an independent school in Singapore, with an occasional sideline into creative writing, photography and other forms of irrationality.

The quantum concepts in Superpose are superposition, the uncertainty principle and the wavefunction.
