Is Free Will an Illusion? Quantum Experiments Aim to Find Out

Philosopher and psychologist Frank Martela, an associate researcher at Aalto University in Finland, argues in a new study published in AI and Ethics magazine that current Artificial Intelligence (IA) systems already meet the fundamental criteria for having free will in a functional sense.

New tests of quantum mechanics with unstable nuclei

We propose and analyze two new tests of quantum mechanics that would probe the time evolution of unstable nuclei. The first is a search for a time-dep…

Is Free Will an Illusion? Quantum Experiments Aim to Find Out - WorldNL Magazine

In brief Researchers are designing quantum experiments to test whether human choices are truly independent of outside forces. The new work challenges the assumption of measurement independence in quantum entanglement. UC San Diego Professor of Philosophy Eddy Chen says defining free will remains a deeply contested issue. New quantum physics experiments may soon test a question as old as humankind: Do we truly have free will?Researchers say they …

Is Free Will an Illusion? Quantum Experiments Aim to Find Out

Scientists are exploring whether quantum mechanics can confirm the existence of free will, a concept deeply embedded in Western philosophy.
