Episode notes

In quantum myriology, we try to explain things in the real world. We came up with some criteria for doing that and along the way, a very important role is played by how the environment monitors the system. In order to get classical looking behavior of a subsystem of a larger quantum system, there needed to be a specific way that the system is being monitored.

Welcome to the April 2023 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
