Quantum foundations

Quantum foundations explores the fundamental principles governing the behavior of particles at the smallest scales. It questions how and why particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously, become entangled over distances, and exhibit probabilistic outcomes. Researchers seek to understand the nature of quantum reality, the limits of classical intuition, and whether the universe operates in ways that challenge everyday notions of certainty, causality, and locality. This field combines physics, philosophy, and mathematics to interpret what quantum mechanics reveals about the fabric of reality, aiming to clarify how the universe fundamentally functions at its most basic level.
