7 statements about Quantum Mechanics, every show
Fedus: Quantum AI models do not generalize across abstraction levels to fluids
“But like if you produce a system that has modeled quantum mechanical objects really accurately, it's not really helping much on like, you know, fluid dynamics or, you know, like another kind of like level of abstraction.”
Parrish: Older Einstein Rejected Quantum Mechanics Due to Inconsistency Avoidance
“Early Einstein was brilliant at destroying his own previous ideas, But the older Einstein never accepted the full implications of quantum mechanics, partly because it was inconsistent with conclusions he'd reached at his peak.”
Cubuk: Quantum mechanics foundation models are AI's next frontier
“And we feel like teaching these LLMs to be foundation models, but for quantum mechanics will be the next frontier for LLMs.”
Çubuk: Deep learning scaling laws apply to quantum mechanics and materials
“The more training data you put into LLMs, the better results you get, and how much better your results are actually predictable. It's kind of like a power law. This comes back from, you know, a paper from Baidu Research from back in 2016, I think, and it seems…”
Susskind: Gravity rules likely originate directly from quantum mechanics
“My guess is that almost everything we know about gravity is coming straight from quantum mechanics and that there are equivalent rules of quantum mechanics which reflect the gravitational things.”
Preskill: Entanglement is the primary distinction between quantum and classical physics
“It's really the characteristic way, maybe the most important way that we know, in which quantum is different from ordinary stuff. Ok. From classical.”
