Talk:Anton Zeilinger

Update with reference
I updated the article to reflect a very recent publication by Anton Zeilinger. ( http://arxiv.org/abs/0803.1871v1 ) Since this is the first time I actively add a reference to a wikipedia article, please let me know if anything in the syntax is wrong with it.

Popular belief
Apparently, among people who mistakenly believe quantum mechanics magically has something to do with consciousness (as opposed to just any interaction or encounter being the quote-on-quote "observation" that collapses/decoheres the wave function), and by the way this alleged consciousness connection is a common misinterpretation in books aimed at laymen (non-scientists), there is also a mistaken belief that Zeilinger's work proves Kantian idealism. Given that Wikipedia is meant to be educational, should we correct this mistake at some point in the Article, perhaps clarifying how the word "realism" means different things in quantum physics than it does in philosophy?

Hmmm, first of all I think you need to provide some evidence of this, especially the reference to Idealism, and then read Jack Sarfatti and consider that Copenhagen is not the only valid point of view for QM. Keithbowden (talk) 12:28, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Low quality references here.
I just looked a few examples but the article has numerous inappropriate references like: Such a claim is not verifiable. The claim needs a full citation that someone can follow and check.
 * Ranked as a "highly cited paper" by Thomson Reuters' Web of Science, placing it in the 1% of the academic field of physics based on a highly cited threshold for the field and publication year.

Probably worse, there are lots of claims of "first" or "opening a field" and so on. But these claims are not substantiated with secondary references. They should all be removed without such documentation. Please see WP:PRIMARY. The article is analyzing rather than reporting. Johnjbarton (talk) 21:42, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
