Bohr was unperturbed by the implications, trusting in the equations. But Einstein would not accept a style of physics that, as he saw it, abandoned its duty to describe the real world.
Alongside Max Planck's work on quanta of heat, and Niels Bohr's later work on quanta of matter, Einstein's work anchors the most shocking idea in 20th-century physics: we live in a quantum ...
Ekert, who splits his time between the University of Oxford and the National University of Singapore, describes how he used ...

Einstein wasn't the biggest cheerleader for quantum theory. In fact, he argued back and forth with physicist Niels Bohr over certain occurrences that he believed violated fundamental laws of physics.
But it was clear to everybody - after the success of Albert Einstein's idea that light waves sometimes behave as particles, and of Niels Bohr's idea that electrons in atoms do not move ...
Niels Bohr was born and educated in Copenhagen, Denmark. He lived, worked, and died there, too. But his mark on science and history was worldwide. His professional work and personal convictions ...
