About the show
What does quantum physics tell us about reality? What progress have we made since the days of Einstein and Schrödinger, and what problems are today’s quantum research scientists trying to solve? This podcast aims to share a modern perspective on the most fundamental aspects of quantum theory, informed by up-to-date research insights. In each episode, I interview an active researcher about a topic related to their work, with the discussion aimed to be broadly accessible.

Subquantum physics: nonlocality, pilot-waves & breaking the Born rule with Prof Antony Valentini
May 11, 2026 · 2 hr 6 minQuantum theory appears to allow some kind of connection between entangled particles, but not enough to send messages. Antony Valentini argues this is a conspiracy: there must be something deeper than quantum, where nonlocality can actually…

A new theory of quantum & spacetime with Prof. Gerard Milburn
March 17, 2026 · 1 hr 3 minWhat if quantum particles have no gravity? In this episode of the Quantum Foundations Podcast, Professor Gerard Milburn explains how this radical idea could solve open problems in quantum theory and lead towards a theory of quantum…

Deriving probability in quantum many-worlds with Dr Tony Short
February 19, 2026 · 1 hr 15 minIf there really is a quantum reality for every possible outcome of a measurement, then where do measurement probabilities come from? Dr Tony Short at the University of Bristol has used a set of intuitive assumptions to derive probability…

Solving nonlocality with fractals, chaos & counterfactuals | Prof. Tim Palmer
February 5, 2026 · 1 hr 24 minThe notion of true quantum nonlocality is absurd. Prof Tim Palmer from the University of Oxford suggests that there is a hidden assumption in standard quantum mechanics, and dropping it will save us from this absurdity. Namely, the reality…

Testing quantum observers on quantum computers with Dr Will Zeng
January 22, 2026 · 1 hr 18 minWhat if you could put an observer in superposition on a quantum computer? Dr Will Zeng suggests that this experiment could stretch standard quantum theory so far that it might break — and radically update our understanding of physical…

Conservation laws with Dr Chiara Marletto
January 8, 2026 · 1 hr 18 minOur most far-reaching principles of physics are not about what changes, but what stays the same: conservation laws. In this episode of the Quantum Foundations Podcast, Dr Chiara Marletto from the University of Oxford explains how such…

Quantum, cryptography & metacomplexity with Oxford Computer Scientist Matthew Gray
December 10, 2025 · 1 hr 52 minYou’ve heard of cryptography. Perhaps quantum cryptography too. Maybe even post-quantum cryptography. But what about *quantum post-quantum cryptography*?! When this came up in conversation with Oxford Computer Scientist Matthew Gray…

A quantum theory of time with Dr Simone Rijavec
November 19, 2025 · 1 hr 1 minWhat if time isn’t fundamental — but emerges from quantum mechanics itself? In this episode, Dr Simone Rijavec explains how a timeless quantum universe can still give rise to the illusion of time flowing. We unpack the Wheeler–DeWitt…
