First, make a simple analogy for quantum mechanics experiments : You shut a cat in a "secret room". There are two doors to go out of the room, but the doors are covered with paper. (It is assumed that the cat cannot go back.) When you come back from the outside, you find that the cat has left the secret room, but the paper on the two doors has been pierced. Since there is only one cat and cannot go back, how did the cat break through the paper on the two doors?
So you install cameras on both doors to observe how the cat goes out of the two doors. As a result, when you came back to check the video, you found that the cat was only going out through the door on the left, and did not pass through the two doors. After many experiments, you found that the cat either went out through the left door or the right door, and never appeared again! So you remove the camera. But at this time, you find that the cat starts to pass through the two doors again.
The cat mentioned above is an electron. According to previous scientific theories, electrons are material, without thought, and not transferred by human will, but the electron (cat) here is conscious. When you monitor it, it It will not be a clone only when you are not monitoring it. Does this mean that matter is conscious? not necessarily!
The discovery of this experiment almost subverts the previous scientific theories, because the basis of the previous scientific theories is that material determines consciousness ! Scientists have tried their best to explain this phenomenon, but so far there is no fully accepted explanation.
The two most widely recognized explanations at the beginning are:
An explanation : Overturn previous scientific theories, consciousness determines matter , only with human consciousness (camera) The cat’s specific behavior of breaking the door, when the cat is not aware (camera), the cat can be left or right.Superposition state of both left and right. It even means that history can only appear after the emergence of human consciousness, and the beginning of history is from the day when human beings became conscious.
Another explanation : is parallel universe , this explanation thinks that there are countless parallel universes, which means that there are originally two cats. Parallel universes originally had no intersection, but with the development of science and technology, it was discovered that parallel universes are intertwined in the microcosm of . In other words, two cats are intertwined and belong to this parallel universe as well as another parallel universe. But when the cat is observed, it is connected to the macro world, so the two intertwined cats (collapsed) can no longer be intertwined, and each enters one of the parallel universes.
This explains the results of the experiment very well. When there is a camera, although we observe the cat coming out of the door on the left, in another parallel universe we observe the cat coming out of the door on the right! This is the source of the theory of parallel universes.
Finally talk about the quantum computer , why is it so much faster than traditional computers? Simply assume that cats can do calculations. When a cat is intertwined with another cat in a parallel universe, are two cats doing calculations? More boldly, when 10 cats in parallel universes are intertwined, Are 10 cats doing calculations! This explanation is easy to understand, one cat will never do more than 10 cats. This is why it is said that quantum computers may trigger the third industrial revolution!
