Parece apropiado que las Naciones Unidas hayan designado 2025 como el año de la ciencia y la tecnología cuánticas.

By Tom Standage, Editor, The World Ahead 2025IT SEEMS APPROPRIATE that 2025 has been designated the year of quantum science and technology by the United Nations. Because like Schrödinger’s cat, which (in a quantum thought-experiment) was both alive and dead at the same time inside a closed box, 2025 has hovered in a superposition of two very different states, defined by the outcome of America’s election.

But some people worry that the legalization of cannabis has outpaced the research.
