Probability theorem gets quantum makeover after 250 years

How likely you think something is to happen depends on what you already believe about the circumstances. That is the simple concept behind Bayes’ rule, an approach to calculating probabilities, first proposed in 1763. Now, an international team of researchers has shown how Bayes’ rule operates in the quantum world.Quantum Physics NewsRead More

How an in-between quantum state could boost future technologies

Kai Sun of the University of Michigan is a humble physics professor with ambitious goals. “I’m mainly a paper-and-pencil type of theorist, doing analytical calculations mostly,” Sun said. “My interests are pretty broad, but basically searching for new fundamental principles and new phenomena, especially new phenomena and new physics previously believed to be impossible.”Quantum Physics
