In this engaging discussion, physicist Chris Ferrie, author of "Quantum Bullsh*t," dismantles the misuse of quantum physics in spiritual practices. He explains the true meaning of quantum concepts like entanglement and Schrödinger’s cat, showcasing common misconceptions. Listeners learn about the dangers posed by misinformation in the wellness community and the importance of scientific rigor. Chris also reflects on how human perception limits our understanding of quantum mechanics, urging critical thinking when confronted with pseudoscientific claims.

In this episode, Chris Ferrie, an Associate Professor at the Centre for Quantum Software and Information of the University of Technology Sydney, discusses the utility of Bayesian stats in quantum physics research and shares insights from his work as an author. They also talk about science communication, education, and a shocking revelation about Ant Man.

In this podcast, quantum physics expert Chris Ferrie explores the link between quantum physics and Bayesian statistics. They discuss the practical application of Bayesian statistics, the challenges faced in transitioning to the subjective interpretation of probability, and the benefits of building something from scratch to deepen understanding. Ferrie also shares insights on using Bayesian statistics in research and the usefulness of tools like Q infer for solving problems in quantum physics.
