[extropy-chat] Quantum Interrogation

[Amara Graps]

"Quantum Interrogation" by Sean Carroll:

http://cosmicvariance.com/2006/02/27/quantum-interrogation/

is a work of masterful teaching. He explains effortlessly to the
layman (and scientist!) collapsing wavefunctions, non-destructive
quantum measurement, and the quantum Zeno effect using a puppy, and
a steak and a salad. One of the finest pieces of popular science
writing I have ever read.
