Description was written before the event

Can a particle really be in two places at once? And what actually happens when we measure something?

Peter Lodahl, professor of quantum optics at the Niels Bohr Institute, Faculty of Science and Biomedical Sciences, examines the fundamental questions of quantum physics.
