Quantum Foundations Podcast
Maria Violaris
What does quantum physics tell us about reality? What progress have we made since the days of Einstein and Schrödinger, and what problems are today’s quantum research scientists trying to solve? This podcast aims to share a modern perspective on the most fundamental aspects of quantum theory, informed by up-to-date research insights. In each episode, I interview an active researcher about a topic related to their work, with the discussion aimed to be broadly accessible.

Locality in Quantum Physics Explained with Dr Nicetu Tibau Vidal
Dr. Nicetu Tibau Vidal, a Research Fellow at the University of Hong Kong and former Oxford PhD student, discusses the intriguing interplay of locality and quantum physics. He explores the validity of local realism, challenging the idea that entangled particles' actions are non-local. The conversation unpacks Bell's theorem and its implications, alongside insightful thought experiments like sock measurements. Nicetu also delves into how our understanding of particles and their properties needs to evolve, with profound implications for the nature of reality.
