The delayed choice quantum eraser gets almost no mainstream attention despite being one of the strangest confirmed results in physics, curious what people think deserves more general awareness

Magneto99

The delayed choice quantum eraser deserves way more attention, it shows that whether interference appears can depend on a choice made after the particle already hit the detector, strange even by quantum standards

Shane95

The Aspect experiments confirming Bell inequality violations should be far more widely known, they settled a genuine decades long debate about whether reality has hidden local variables and the answer was no
Press F to pay respects

DarkMatter

Wheeler's delayed choice experiment with starlight deserves more attention, using photons that traveled billions of years to test whether a choice made today affects a path taken in the ancient past

Emma92

The Elitzur-Vaidman bomb tester result deserves wider awareness, using quantum mechanics to detect something without ever directly interacting with it in the classical sense is a mind bending result
Long time lurker, first time poster

Macroscopic quantum superposition experiments with large molecules deserve more attention, showing interference with objects made of hundreds of atoms pushes against any assumption that quantum weirdness stays confined to single particles

DarkAvenger11

Single photon double slit experiments running one photon at a time still deserve more general attention, the interference pattern building up dot by dot from individual particles is the clearest demonstration of the weirdness that exists

The quantum Zeno effect deserves more general awareness, frequent enough observation can literally freeze a system's evolution, the watched pot never boils turns out to have a legitimate physical basis
