Exploring Isaac Newton's enduring influence on modern quantum science and technology. It examines Newton's contributions to classical mechanics and mathematics, highlighting how his methods and concepts, despite the shift to a probabilistic worldview in quantum physics, remain fundamental to quantum mechanics and quantum computing. The Podcast contrasts Newton's deterministic view of the universe with the probabilistic nature of quantum phenomena and explores the continuing relevance of his mathematical tools in contemporary quantum equations. Finally, it speculates on Newton's potential reaction to quantum computing and its implications, particularly in cryptography.
