Really excited about my latest story for Quanta about a new result in math that connects chaos, fractals, and quantum physics. What more could you want?
The uncertainty principle tells us that the more you know about where a quantum particle is, the less you can know about how fast it’s moving, and vice versa.
Recently, this rule got a rare upgrade. @shalmawegs.bsky.social reports: www.quantamagazine.org/graduate-stu...

The math, which combines chaos, quantum theory, and infinitely complex fractal structures, has been called a “foundational result.”
