Superpositions

As AI (quantum computing) researchers report that they are able to maintain superpositions of increasingly large conglomerations of atoms, it should soon be demonstrated that this quantum behavior can apply to molecules and even macromolecules (like protein and DNA) in certain vital environments (like cells). ❋ Unknown (2007)

Rather than the ones and zeroes of digital computing, quantum computers deal in what are known as superpositions - states of matter that can be thought of as both one and zero at once. ❋ Unknown (2011)

But following the counterintuitive laws of quantum mechanics, the scientists can also place these artificial atoms in "superpositions" of quantum states-both "off" and "on" at the same time. ❋ Unknown (2009)

If one takes the orbit of the action of the space-time symmetry group upon an arbitrary vector, and if one then takes the set of all superpositions of the elements in that orbit (technically, if one takes the topological closure of the complex linear span of all the elements in the orbit), then one obtains the entire state space. ❋ Gordon McCabe (2009)

But he lacked a good candidate for biological qubits in the brain, only suggesting the possibility of superpositions of neurons both firing and not firing. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Decoherence theory suggests any interaction with a classical environment degrades quantum superpositions. ❋ Unknown (2010)

But isolated superpositions remain unexplained, as does the precise nature of quantum isolation. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Within the quantum ocean, superpositions reaching OR threshold result in conscious moments, like whitecaps, or ocean waves crashing on a beach. ❋ Unknown (2010)

One seemingly crucial issue was decoherence, the assertion by critics that the brain was far too 'warm, wet and noisy' for delicate quantum superpositions. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The Penrose notion of superpositions as Planck scale separations is very much like the multiple worlds hypothesis. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In either case, decoherence is an essential step in getting from quantum superpositions to classical reality. ❋ CHAD ORZEL (2009)

One of the best demonstrations of the weirdness of quantum superpositions is an experiment called a quantum eraser. ❋ CHAD ORZEL (2009)

In a quantum computer, however, the “qubits”† can be found not just in the “0” and “1” states, but in superpositions of “0” and “1” at the same time. ❋ CHAD ORZEL (2009)

Such approaches may have intuitively little to do with decoherence since they seek to suppress precisely those superpositions that are created by decoherence. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Some approaches, so-called collapse approaches, seek to modify the Schrödinger equation, so that superpositions of different ❋ Unknown (2009)

Small superpositions, e.g. an electron separated from itself, if isolated from environment would require 10 million years to reach OR threshold. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The fate of isolated quantum superpositions remains unexplained; Penrose OR (Penrose, 1989; 1994; 1996) is one tentative proposal which is testable, and can also account for consciousness. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Such states are prepared from superpositions of states. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Einstein never accepted the Copenhagen interpretation of QM, and QM continues to be baffling and a source of serious disagreement as to how 'real' are its supposed referents, such as superpositions. ❋ Unknown (2007)

"[Extraphysical Superposition] might explain why there are literally no evidences of near-death experiences (NDE), since it would behave like [quantum superposition], the conscience of the person might be outside the body, but when it is measured, the body is still working, showing the principle of [extraphysical superposition] might be right and the person is in the body and outside the body at the same time, kinda like "Schrödinger's cat" but without being a paradox. We can also use extraphysical superposition for explain mediumship and astral projection as well." "Extraphysical Superposition is literally [Quantum Superposition] at extraphysical level, proving that extraphysical mechanics and quantum mechanics are actually complement of each other, leading to the possibility of the [superquantum mechanics]." ❋ Full Monteirism (2021)

1. In a [Hydrogen atom], the electron spinning around the nucleus can live in a 'quantum superposition' of the state of minimum energy and the first excited state. If you measure the superposition in the lab, you measure one of the states randomly! 2. In a quantum computer, a bit can be in a [quantum superposition] of the values '0' and '1'. 3. The famous Schrödinger Cat illustration: an isolated [cat in a box] where there is a threat that can potentially kill him is in a quantum superposition of 'alive' and 'dead'. Opening the box would collapse the cat to one of these states. This is actually a mnemotechnic to remember definition 1. ❋ Garrapito (2011)
