Working with the contra intuitive aspects of nature | Göran Johansson | TEDxLund

Using skiers, Prof. Johansson illustrates superposition, a very contra-intuitive aspect of quantum physics. He then discusses how to engineer and exploit superposition to achieve unprecedented computational power that can change the way we plan and structure our society.
