Quantum Quotes
Quantum carries two very different lives in language. In physics, it refers to the strange, statistical world of quantum mechanics, where strict causality gives way to probability across many repeated experiments, and where ever more accurate theoretical calculations sharpen our picture of reality. Outside the lab, quantum simply means a large, meaningful amount, as in a quantum of investors or opportunity. These quantum quotes move between both meanings, scientific and everyday.
From early twentieth-century physics breakthroughs to modern discussions of investment and opportunity, quantum has always signaled something significant, whether measured in particles or in potential.
Because of recent improvements in the accuracy of theoretical predictions based on large scale ab initio quantum mechanical calculations, meaningful comparisons between theoretical and experimental findings have become possible.

Bose-Einstein condensation is one of the most intriguing phenomena predicted by quantum statistical mechanics.
It is true that in quantum theory we cannot rely on strict causality. But by repeating the experiments many times, we can finally derive from the observations statistical distributions, and by repeating such series of experiments, we can arrive at...

In 1924, I became a Dozent in Gottingen and worked out the quantum mechanics during a holiday stay on Heligoland.
The scientists often have more unfettered imaginations than current philosophers do. Relativity theory came as a complete surprise to philosophers, and so did quantum mechanics, and so did other things.
When I moved to Stanford I began to pursue the line of research I have been following ever since, namely trying to understand the larger implications of fractional quantum hall discovery.
About Quotes
With the exception of gravitation and radioactivity, all of the phenomena known to physicists and chemists in 1911 have their ultimate explanation in the laws of quantum electrodynamics.
If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet.
Now, what that means is that there is fundamental indeterminacy from quantum mechanics, but besides that there are other sources of effective indeterminacy.
Ever since I was a kid, I've had an enormous interest in the sciences - everything from quantum physics to anthropology.
The problem is that replacement of Quantum Mechanics by Quantum Field Theory is still very demanding.
Accuracy Quotes
We're going to need a definitive quantum theory of gravity, which is part of a grand unified theory - it's the main missing piece.
I've always been fascinated by quantum physics and the possibility of alternate realities.
Among the lesser effects of quantum theory are gaping holes in old ideas about causality.
The mathematical framework of quantum theory has passed countless successful tests and is now universally accepted as a consistent and accurate description of all atomic phenomena.

Liquid helium belongs to a class of fluids known as quantum fluids, as distinct from classical fluids.
