Summary
What does philosophy of science actually *do* for quantum technology at the moment quantum mechanics is being asked to deliver? Elise Crull — historian, philosopher of physics, and 2025 APS Fellow — joins Sebastian to talk about how interpretive choices are quietly built into quantum hardware, why definitions of entanglement and decoherence matter for engineering, and what archival work on EPR, Grete Hermann, and Hertha Sponer reveals about the stories quantum computing tells itself today.
