Quantum mechanics broke the mold of the previous framework, classical mechanics, by establishing that the predictions of science are necessarily probabilistic.

Quantum physics is one of the hardest things to understand intuitively, because essentially the whole point is that our classical picture is wrong.

I finished up my graduate degree in quantum mechanics, but underwent a bit of a personal crisis, recognizing that I didn't want to do that for the rest of my life. It was too abstract, too far removed from human concerns.

I had set out to disprove quantum field theory - and the opposite occurred! I was shocked.

Physics is becoming too difficult for the physicists.

Most people don't have time to master the very mathematical details of theoretical physics.

Quantum physics is a bit of a passion of mine. It's extraordinary. There's a branch of mathematics that is based on lunacy, and that's wonderful.

I am fascinated by quantum physics.

I'm fascinated with quantum physics.

Everybody recognizes that if you can make very efficient electric motors, you can make a quantum leap forward.
