Is it time to quantize time? Everything is quantum in quantum mechanics... almost. Time remains a mysterious flowing quantity slotted in to the equations. Surprisingly, there's a model for making time quantum, with a radical consequence: the overall universe is timeless. How is it possible to experience a flow of time in a timeless universe?! Find out in my latest episode of the Quantum Foundations Podcast with Simone Rijavec, Simone Rijavec! We discuss the Page-Wootters model for the emergence of time in quantum theory, and get an insight into Simone's research on the topic. Here's how physicists are solving the problem of time in quantum theory, explained in 60 minutes: 00:00 Coming Up 00:59 Intro 01:37 Simone's journey into quantum 05:04 The problem of time in quantum theory 07:07 Relational approach to time 11:12 Quantum measurement and time 17:53 Stationary universe and the Wheeler-DeWitt equation 30:18 Multiverse & block universe 31:11 How is time flowing? 34:20 Problems with wave-function collapse 36:11 What are clocks? 37:48 Resolution of time-steps 41:47 Debates on the timeless approach 45:08 Interactions with clocks 51:05 Recap 57:39 Making time fully quantum 1:00:43 Behind the Scenes

Harvard physicist Jacob Barandes returns with a groundbreaking insight that could reshape quantum theory. By questioning a single hidden assumption, Jacob bridges the gap between classical probability and quantum mechanics. This ‘mathematical accident’ challenges the foundations of Bell’s Theorem, dissolves the measurement problem, and opens a path to a realist interpretation of quantum physics. This episode is a rigorous journey through stochastic processes, non-locality, and the future of theoretical physics.

BITCOIN RAILS EPISODE #18: MAKE BITCOIN QUANTUM RESISTANT | with BIP360 author Hunter Beast Hunter Beast 🕯️ Quantum computing is a complicated topic—one that incites equal amounts of fear and skepticism depending on who you talk to… especially in Bitcoin. In this episode, BIP360 author Hunter Beast wisely shares why the “truth is likely somewhere in the middle,” citing incremental advancements in quantum computing that may eventually pose a legitimate threat to some Bitcoin addresses—as well as steps we can take to protect ourselves in the short, medium and long term. The correct posture is to “be prepared, not scared,” says Hunter Beast 🕯️ Ultimately, the introduction of quantum resistant cryptography—via proposals like BIP360—will be needed for higher degrees of security. That said, individuals can mitigate personal risk substantially through proper address-use hygiene. This episode breaks down the specific challenges Bitcoin will face in the event of a quantum attack, the likelihood of an attack over time, and the steps we’ll need to take at the individual and communal level to ensure Bitcoin’s safety. This episode includes detailed discussion of: 1) How quantum computing could potentially affect Bitcoin public/private key cryptography—and technologies built on vulnerable addresses (e.g. Taproot) 2) Best practices for protecting yourself against quantum in the short and long term 3) Implications of vulnerable address types—e.g. what about Satoshi’s coins? 4) Deep Dive into BIP360 + proposed long-term solutions 5) Industry roadmaps for quantum computing + how banks and governments are preparing for “Q Day” As always, this episode can be viewed on Spotify or YouTuve—full episode in the comments or linktree in my bio. This episode is powered by Best In Slot—the leading API for Ordinals and BRC20 data aggregation and indexing.

"We could be within 5 years of really falsifying Einstein's classical theory." How? By generating entanglement in an experiment to test quantum gravity! I'm excited to release a technical deep-dive into how to test quantum features of gravity, explained in an approachable and intuitive way by Prof Vlatko Vedral from the University of Oxford. We go right from Feynman's original thought experiment about putting a single mass in superposition, to Vlatko and his collaborators' Chiara Marletto & Sougato Bose's recent "BMV" two-mass experimental proposal. As well as carefully explaining what different scenarios and results tell us about the nature of quantum gravity, Vlatko outlines actual experimental requirements and progress towards implementing this crucial test in the near future. 00:00 Coming Up 02:03 Intro 02:56 Feynman's Single Mass Superposition 12:20 Fake Decoherence 23:07 Interfering Neutrons & Conservation Laws 35:10 Two Masses Thought Experiment 49:23 Coupling gravity and Quantum Field 57:05 Quantumness as Non-Commuting Operators 01:10:47 Experimental Proposals 01:26:46 Challenges and Future Directions 01:35:32 Final Thoughts

Into the quantum realm we go with the brilliant Prineha Narang. Narang earned her PhD in applied physics at Caltech, taught materials science at Harvard and now has her own lab at UCLA. The lab focuses on quantum materials, non-equilibrium dynamics, photonics, quantum information science and other easily digestible areas. Beyond her academic career, Narang is a science advisor to the government and a venture capitalist at DCVC. As you might imagine, we get into quantum computing and quantum technology in this episode. Quantum vs. AI, the US vs. China, when quantum tech will break encryption, quantum sensing and whether or not quantum technology actually has a bright future. The quantum sensing portion of the chat was all new to me and rather astonishing. Since Narang is also a competitive runner and mountaineer, we provide some top tips on gear because that is just the kind of all-purpose podcast that we deliver. Timestamps 0:00 Intro 2:16 The physicist who runs marathons 14:03 Cold-emailing her way into IBM 33:02 Did AI steal quantum's thunder? 46:28 Google's encryption bombshell 57:20 The US vs. China quantum race 1:06:48 Quantum sensing: who sneezed? 1:22:28 Should students still bet on quantum? 1:30:38 When does quantum get real? 1:34:54 The gear tip
