A public lecture and book signing

Hans Christian von Baeyer

Chancellor Professor of Physics, emeritus

College of William and Mary

Measured by the accuracy of its predictions and the scope of its 
applications, quantum mechanics is arguably the most successful theory 
in science, yet its deeper meaning remains controversial almost a 
century after its birth.  QBism, a new interpretation of the old theory, 
provides a way out of many of its paradoxes and puzzles.  QBism refutes 
Einstein’s objection to what he called the “spooky” nature of the 
conventional interpretation, and offers profound implications for how we 
understand and interact with the world.  The non-mathematical lecture is 
addressed to the general public.  All are welcome!
