Puzzling Quantum Scenario Appears Not to Conserve Energy | Quanta Magazine
By resolving a paradox about light in a box, researchers hope to clarify the concept of energy in quantum theory.
Hasnain says:
“The search continues for a resolution to the apparent paradox, and with it, a better understanding of quantum theory. Such puzzles have been fruitful for physicists in the past. As John Wheeler once said, “No progress without a paradox!”
“If you ignore such questions,” Popescu said, “you’re never really going to … understand what quantum mechanics is.””
