In Hilbert space, all things are quantumly possible

Quanta Magazine has published a feature exploring Hilbert space, the mathematical arena in which quantum states live, and what its strange geometry reveals about quantum mechanics. The piece explains why every possible quantum outcome has a home in this infinite-dimensional space, and why physicists treat it as the true stage of reality. Readers are debating how much of quantum weirdness is just geometry in disguise.

Why now: A new physics explainer on the mathematics underlying quantum mechanics is drawing discussion among science enthusiasts.
