Quantum Zeno Effect
In classical life, observing something doesn’t change its behavior. You can watch a rock fall or a car drive, and they won’t behave any differently because you’re watching them. But….

Weak Measurements
In standard quantum mechanics, measurements are usually described as strong or projective measurements. This means that when you measure a quantum system—say, the spin of an electron or the polarization….
Quantum Measurement Theory
Quantum Measurement Theory tackles one of the most mysterious questions in physics: What actually happens when we observe a quantum system? In classical physics, measurement is simple: we look at….
