INTRO: We never see tables in two places at once or cats that are both dead and alive—yet this is exactly what quantum mechanics predicts. As a result, it has typically been assumed that quantum mechanics only applies to small scales. But according to Oxford physicist Vlatko Vedral, this is a radical mistake. The universe is quantum at every scale, and we only get paradoxes of quantum mechanics when we insist on a classical world outside it. In this interview, IAI contributing editor Ozbir Kip challenges Vedral on whether reality is really quantum all the way up... (MORE - details)
