“If I keep observing the uranium, which means a little more than keeping my eyes on the pot on my desk and involves something akin to surrounding it with a whole system of Geiger counters, I can freeze it in such a way that it stops emitting radiation. Although Turing first suggested the idea as a theoretical construct, it turns out that it is not just mathematical fiction. Experiments in the last decade have demonstrated the real possibility of using observation to inhibit the progress of a quantum system.” FictionProgressPossibilityTheoryExperimentsObservationRadiationObservingTheoreticalDemonstrationIdeaFreezeQuantum PhysicsSystemUraniumConstructDemonstratedQuantum Field TheoryQuantum SystemEmittingGeiger CounterInhibit Book:The Great Unknown: Seven Journeys to the Frontiers of Science Source: The Great Unknown: Seven Journeys to the Frontiers of Science
