Is Quantum Reality Fractal? (Prof. Tim Palmer on Chaos & Nonlocality)

The notion of true quantum nonlocality is absurd. Prof Tim Palmer from the University of Oxford suggests that there is a hidden assumption in standard quantum mechanics, and dropping it will save us from this absurdity. Namely, the reality of counterfactuals: the physics of what could have happened but did not. Inspired by chaos theory and the fractal structure widespread in atmospheric physics, Palmer has developed a new underlying structure for quantum theory, with radical implications for our fundamental principles of quantum physics; the limits of quantum computation; and perhaps even the search for quantum gravity.

Podcast Background I'm Maria, I'm a quantum physicist and science communicator. I completed my DPhil in the foundations of quantum information at Oxford, and I now work on quantum computing at Oxford Quantum Circuits, alongside my personal quantum foundations research. I enjoy day-to-day conversations that change my perspective on what our best theories tell us about reality. This podcast aims to share these conversations and up-to-date research insights more widely.
