Neil deGrasse Tyson and Sean Carroll Analyze How Thought Experiments Became Quantum Technology.

From StarTalk.

The interview discusses the interplay between theoretical physics and experimental validation, referencing George Gamow’s imaginative way of simplifying complex physics concepts through storytelling. It transitions into how concepts like the Big Bang, quantum field theory, and entanglement—once theoretical—have gained credibility through data. They delve into the plausibility and challenges of quantum entanglement, particularly over large distances, and its implications for future technologies like secure quantum communication and computing.
