Kwantumcomputing

"Nature isn't classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you'd better make it quantum mechanical, and by golly it's a wonderful problem, because it doesn't look so easy. "

Van klassieke fysica tot kwantummechanica

"If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet."

Defecten als smaakmakers in de fysica

"Next time someone complains that you have made a mistake, tell him that may be a good thing. Because without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist."

Generatief modelleren

"What we want is a machine that can learn from experience."

Spontane symmetriebreking

"Nothing in physics seems so hopeful to as the idea that it is possible for a theory to have a high degree of symmetry was hidden from us in everyday life. The physicist's task is to find this deeper symmetry."

Fysicus vs. Chaos

"We need science education to produce scientists, but we need it equally to create literacy in the public."

Kwantumsystemen: getekend voor het leven?

"The law that entropy always increases, holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature."

Topologische fasen

"The surprise in everything is that quantum mechanics is so much richer than we dreamed."

Kwantumverstrengeling

"Spooky action at a distance."
