Good-bye common sense

Letting go on one's intuition. Quantum physics question our world view and our intuition.

Particles react as though they were one although they are in several places and states at the same time. Prof. N. Gisin's team (UniGe) just published an article in Nature Physics, trying to establish wether this discipline is compatible with our common sense. The newspaper "Le Temps" interviews Benoît Deveaud-Plédran, professor in quantum physics at the EPFL, about this topic.
