• Quantum mechanics and classical physics don’t always get along, and can sometimes form apparent paradoxes where observed quantum behavior violates well-established physical laws.

• In quantum mechanics, it’s possible to revert particles to previous states (aka time reversal) while also preserving information, but the Laws of Thermodynamics suggest that this is impossible.

• Scientists from the University of Twente in the…
