Music-Store Roots To Lab Hacks
- Charlie Marcus worked in a music store fixing guitars and buying echo chips for experiments.
- He used those echo chips to build delayed-feedback neural networks that produced oscillations.
Quantum Facts Are New, Not Incomprehensible
- Marcus argues quantum mechanics isn't inherently mysterious; it's a new category of physical facts to learn.
- We accept its postulates because they predict observations reliably, not because they fit prior intuition.
Superposition Is A Third, Legitimate State
- A qubit can occupy a superposition of two basis states rather than being strictly one or the other.
- Marcus compares superposition to mixed familiar things like orange being red plus yellow.
