Why you can’t clone Schrödinger’s cat: this video presents the full proof of the “No Cloning” Theorem in Quantum Mechanics - without any fancy math! (stereotypical qubit has been replaced with Schrödinger’s cat).
The full proof relies on the linearity of quantum (aka unitary) transformations, and the tensor product of multiple systems, to show that perfect cloning is impossible (though teleportation is allowed)

Hello everyone! I am back from a 2+year comment hiatus and excited to say hi! (my account wasn't linked with any google+ account, so I couldn't comment on KZhead from the MinutePhysics account for the last 2-3 years; google finally gave up on google+ enough that now I can comment on KZhead again!!)
goood!! btw will you continue uploading videos? PD: your channel is awesome :)
WOOO coool !
welcome back!
Hello Mr. Min-phys, I cant remember your name but trust me its a warm welcome none the less.
i believe his name is Henry.
Heisenberg was stopped by the police. The officer asked "Do you know how fast you were going?" Heisenberg responds "No, but I knew EXACTLY where I was."

Why are you putting a box of unstable gunpowder that may or may not explode at any moment through a cloning machine?
For science
Yes
A lot of things are in superpositions like the gunpowder
Because you really don’t care about your cloning machine, or you just got a new one so you’re trying to blow it up with two gunpowder explosions at once right after it cloned the original exploding gunpowder.
Makes me think if there were a cloning machine that everyone can afford, there will be youtubers doing video about it. "Cloning a hot metal knife cutting through spacetime" With shitty editing thumbnail and some arrows.

Very mixed feelings in re to format length. Longer and more in depth is great. But I would hate to lose the shorter format that really made your brand. They both serve a purpose. Two channels is probably not a good solution, especially from a business perspective. Perhaps clearly mark each format, perhaps not just by name, (ten minute physics works), but by some distinctive visual clue. This works on other channels that have multiple formats. People can readily pick out the series they want. You can keep separate playlists for those checking out your back catalogue.
Great idea. Thumb up so he can read this

Or just post two videos. One cool style and one to somewhat satisfy KZhead and be longer
Or you could just look at the length of the video to determine if it is 1 min or 10. not trying to be rude but a 'distinctive visual clue' just seems a bit unnecessarily difficult and pointless
Thomas R. Jackson the way KZhead is set up, they force creators to have longer videos to stay relevant. It's out of the creators hands. They have to adapt to the situation is around them.

Cloning a joke is theoretically impossible. You see, jokes have several factors other than the joke itself that make it funny. If I were to just copy and paste your joke, the timing would be different, author would be different, and the amount of likes would probably be different too. You won't have to worry about someone cloning your joke, only re-posting it.

Hi, something seems off about the proof in the video - at the start you said that there are 3 things needed for cloning: 1) the original object (O) 2) the materials that comprise the object (M) 3) cloning process (C) But the proof only considers O and C (as a function of O), while it should be O, M and C (as a function of O and M). Cloning shouldn't be C(O)=OxO but C(OxM)=OxO. If O exists in superposition as O1+O2 then cloning would be C((O1+O2)xM)=(O1+O2)x(O1+O2). We then need to examine the cloning process for O1 and O2, however the materials needed for cloning O1, O2 and O might be different. Let's say M1 is the materials for cloning O1 and M2 is the materials for cloning O2, so the materials needed for cloning O=O1+O2 are M=M1+M2. C(O1xM1)=O1xO1,C(O2xM2)=O2xO2 O1xO1+O2xO2+O1xO2+O2xO1=(O1+O2)x(O1+O2)=OxO=C(OxM)=C((O1+O2)x(M1+M2))=C(O1xM1)+C(O1xM2)+C(O2xM1)+C(O2xM2)=O1xO1+O2xO2+C(O1xM2)+C(O2xM1) So the process could exist so long as O1xO2+O2xO1=C(O1xM2)+C(O2xM1). Consider for example the trivial solution where M=O and cloning is an empty action. PS - great videos, learned a lot from them.
He didn't take C(O)....but took the hypothetical end product as a function of O
@@itsnotme7868 I'm not sure I understand you mate. If C is the cloning process as a function of O, then the end product would be C(O)=OxO. And regardless as I've stated in my previous comment I think the proof is lacking M to truly prove anything meaningful. Without M all that is proven is that there is no process that can take an object O and turn it into 2 of the same object OxO - which I would think is already covered by conservation of matter.
@Danamo999 Sorry, I'm a year out of context so I might be missing something obvious. "C(O1xM2) is only defined if M2 is the materials to clone O1" - why would that be the case? The only thing we know about the process C is that given an object O/O1/O2 and the materials needed to reproduce it M/M1/M2, the process results in 2 objects O/O1/O2 and under these conditions C would be cloning. We know nothing about what process C does given an object O1 and the materials M2. Imagine a trivial example where C is an empty action - it does absolutely nothing. And the materials M to reproduce an object O are the object itself, M=O. Let's say O is a cat, O1 is a dead cat and O2 is a living cat, O=O1+O2. The materials to reproduce a cat O is another cat exactly like it M=O. The materials to reproduce a dead cat is another dead cat just like it M1=O1, the materials to reproduce a living cat is a living cat just like it M2=O2. You put a dead cat O1 in a box together with another dead cat M1=O1, then open the box and have 2 dead cats O1. You've successfully (though trivially) cloned a dead cat. You put a dead cat O1 in a box together with a living cat M2=O2/=O1, then open the box and find a living cat O2 and a dead cat O1. Is the process C of doing nothing to the objects inside perfectly defined? Yes. Does it successfully clone an object given the right materials? Yes. Must the materials M1 for producing a dead cat O1 be the same as the materials M2 for producing a living cat O2? No. Will the process successfully clone an object given the wrong materials? No. But then again it's not supposed to.
math class: 2+2 you close your eyes math class:
I know I am 3 years late but for cloning to be possible the cloning transformation should distribute. So, C((O1+O2)×M) = C(O1×M + O2×M) must be equal to C(O1×M) + C(O2×M) for cloning to be possible. But since (O1+O2)×(O1+O2) is not equal to O1×O1+O2×O2, cloning shouldn't be possible right?

10 minutes of Minute Physics, hell yeah!
So it IS feasibly possible for two things in the universe to be exactly the same, just not for us to make exact copies of something that there's only one of in existence. This brings to light an interesting concept concerning consciousness. Suppose that the universe is spatially infinite. Also, suppose that the number of types of particles that exist in the universe is finite. On top of that, assume that there's only a certain number of ways to arrange those particles that complies with known physical law, and that those particles can only exist in a finite number of states. As such, if space is infinite, that would mean that, if you go far enough in any direction, you'll eventually run across an exact copy of the place you just left. So, if you left earth, then eventually you'd run across an exact replica of earth. Down to the people on it. Down to the arrangement of the neurons in those peoples' brains. Down to the properties of the sodium and potassium ions in those brains. And not only would there be one exact copy. If space were infinite, there would be an infinite number of exact copies. Now, as far as we know of today, there is no mystical aspect of consciousness that determines its properties. You are you simply because your brain is arranged a certain way, and your neurons are firing in a particular pattern that is unique to you. But here's the catch - if there were to exist an exact copy of you, down to the position of the neurons and the arrangement of the neural activity, then which "you" would you be? Which head would you reside in? What would differentiate your mind from the mind of the other you? Assuming that they truly were an exact copy, then nothing at all would differentiate the two of you. Now, if you two were to be in the same location and interacting with each other, then it could be determined which "you" was you, as the very act of interacting would break the symmetry. The other "you" would respond to your gestures, therefore altering his neural state in a way that's unique from yours. But, if the two of you were to forever remain isolated in your little bubbles, then you could conceivably reside in both heads at once. And, if there's an infinite number of "you's" out there, then you'd reside in all of their heads at once. And, since they'd all be exact copies, then they'd all be experiencing and doing the same thing simultaneously. So there wouldn't be any way for you to differentiate between the copies. In short, your mind could be simultaneously existing in an infinite number of locations at once. You simply don't know because each location is an exact copy of the other, so you get the exact same sensory input and experience the exact same responses to that input at every location. What's more, let's assume that every copy of you suddenly became curious and said "I want to find this supposed replica-world." Afterwards, they all set out in their collective high-tech spacecraft in a random direction, intent on traveling until they run across the replica-earth. Now, let's say that after an arbitrarily long amount of time (assuming that you could somehow do it before the universe suffered heat death) you finally run across this replica world. Here's the kicker. The "you" of this world would've left long ago, at the exact moment YOU decided to leave, in search of this mysterious "replica-world" he thought of. That means that, from the perspective of the people that inhabit that world, "you" set off in one direction, bound for a replica-world, but instead simply returned to your own world, coming from the opposite direction. From their perspective, you simply would've circled the entire universe, then come back around. And the crazy thing is that, from your perspective, this would be a perfectly reasonable explanation as well, as you'd never run in to any copy of you, and there would be no way of differentiating the earth you find from the earth you left behind. Similarly, a copy of you would show up on the earth you left, which the people on that world would assume was you after having circled the entire universe. So is there really any difference between a universe with an infinite number of "you"s and "earth"s, and a universe that curves in on itself?
Ethan d Interesting to read :) seriously, but the assumption that "space is infinite" is not correct. so there is no replica of earth to be found, because the universe is really TINY! to have such exact replica !!
Zaid Al-Omari He did say "suppose"
Raffael Davila excuse me i am not native english speaker, I thought "suppose" means that he is trying to use the logical argument "Prove by Contradiction". so i thought he tried to make an assumption then prove its true.

I Agree, but longer videos means less frequent videos because of the time and effort but into them, so maybe some shorter videos wrinkled in with the longer ones?

Neat! I re-found your channel after rewatching the video you did with Hank Green, so youtube started suggesting you again. I loved the fact that you brought up (star trek!! :D) teleporters, because that's exactly where my brain was when I was watching the rest of the video.

simply watching it doesn't work because most of these terms and examples are unknown to me so before I understand this I'dd have to research a lot more basic stuff..
even if you don't exactly know what those terms mean you can get a pretty good idea of what they represent in this context. But you have a point it took me a while to completely understand this video but that's probably because i'm 14 and i had no clue about quantum mechanics

"I'm trying a new format" a.k.a. KZhead formula forcing content creators to make a video 10 minutes long.
and even if this cloning was possible, one second later, both the clone and the original would be exposed to different stimuli, this would make them diverge.

I really enjoy the longer format videos. Been watching for years. You can get in way more depth and i don't feel like it takes away what you were originally trying to do with the channel. Like you said, Minute Physics was meant to signify a video on the magnitude from 1 to 10 minutes

Soo, if a teleporter breaks my atoms down and reassembles me it actually will still be my own conscious self on the destination, and not just a clone with the exact same personality?
Pincsi01 Pfft, wow, you cut me deep.
Dual Wield We still don't know if consciousness is purely the result of the matter that makes us up and it's unique arrangement. It could be something inconceivable as nature has had 4.5 billion years to shape a being as advanced as us. We, as a bunch of atoms, understand that we are atoms and can grasp amazing concepts like our place and purpose in the universe. Then again, what is consciousness and does it really exist. How can you know if you have the awareness that you are having your own thoughts and are not just programmed or destined based on your biochemistry to do what you do? These are perplexing questions I hope we can shed some light on in the coming century, especially with the arrival of artificial intelligence that pass the Turing Test with flying colors. Could we reach the point where beings we create in simulation actually perceive their world in the same way as we do. Is it ethical to create a conscious creature to serve our will? It would be like slavery. Or we couldn't really tell if the robots actually 'felt' anything on a emotional level. Mind-boggling stuff, truly.
of course it's not "you" because "you" exist right NOW now "you" are something newer, and by the time "you" finish reading this BAM "you" are something newer, and by the time "you" finish reading this BAM "you" are something newer, and by the time "you" finish reading this BAM "you" are something newer, and by the time "you" finish reading this BAM "you" are something newer, and by the time "you" finish reading this BAM "you" are something newer, and by the time "you" finish reading this Point being - fear of teleportation, and by extension death itself, is completely silly. The idea of a constant identity and "self" is illusory in the first place, "you" die all the time.
It's a bit like the thought that you could potentially not exist in time. You could be frozen in an instant, with only the feelings you presently have suggesting that there was something before. Of course, each instant you remember tells you that at that moment it was not the case, but it wouldn't even have to exist. It's a bit odd.
It depends on what you consider "you." If the most fundamental thing that makes you "you" is your conscientiousness, then you'd have to find out if the most fundamental thing that makes you conscientious is chemical bonds and neurons firing in your brain. If that's the case, teleportation is possible because there is no physical law preventing an advance in technology that can measure chemical bonds and neurons. If the most fundamental thing that makes up conscientiousness is at the quantum level of the subatomic particles that make up your brain, then teleportation of exactly "you" is not possible because the act of measuring at the quantum level changes the particle or energy level of the particle being measured. At that point, you have to ask yourself, am I really going to change THAT much by teleporting? Right now, no one can be sure because science has not advanced that far.
u know something is confusing when u hear quantum.
nuka cola quantum
When your username is Quantum but everything involving quantum confuses you.
@@Quantum-yz9fc lmao
Henry. I love your videos. Keep doin' what you do.
Man, you are just amazing at explaining! Thank you for showing that my teleportation efforts won't be wasted. Please, give us more!
MinutePhysics is becoming HourPhysics.
Only to hit the 10 min mark for that SWEET AD REVENUE BABY!
Schmoorp Willakers i thought that was only with the old youtube? Did they bring it back? Was it never gone?
They brought it back i think
more like 10MinutesPhysics
Thank you so much! I did not get the explanation when I first read it on my textbook but now I've got a clearer picture
Great video and well explained! I did have to slow it down some to follow at a good pace.
What if the act of cloning is equivalent to an act of observation, which causes the superposition/wave function to collapse to a single state?
You can't just leave out or reduce information and still call it a perfect copy
But then both the original and the copy would have their superposition collapsed so... how exactly would that not be a perfect copy still? I also fail to see how any remotely real cloning apparatus could possibly NOT act as an observation and therefor throw out quantum mechanics in its entirety, rendering this whole equation mood, no?
I think what the Observer Effect describes is that the act of observation will alter the state of the subject, so even though wave function collapses, the original object will experience change so it will not be a perfect copy... I could be wrong but I think using act of observation will result in an "Ok clone" mentioned in the video
Chauncey 钟离 Hm. If you were to sort of "scan" the object and then clone it, I'm pretty sure you'd get a perfect copy. Now... I'll grant you though, by scanning the object I guess you did change it and so it's not really the actual original anymore, right? Like, by scanning the box we already determined whether or not the cat is alive. So while the original box had an "undead" cat, the scanned original has either or. And so does the clone, making it a perfect copy of the new original. But yea, I guess we did change the original first in this case so I suppose in that way it's not a perfect copy :/ Oh well, I'm just thinking out loud anyway, I don't actually understand this stuff :D
the act of cloning IS an act of observation, for a machine to make a copy of whatever is in a box, it needs to know what is in the box. you can only get exploded gunpowder or unexploded gunpowder out of the machine, because only A or B went IN to the machine, we just didnt know what went into it. We would get exactly whatever went in, but it would be a copy of the observed particles.
The long format is really good, the short ones seemed rushed anyways
10-15 minutes videos is perfect, but rather shorter than longer, because you have topics that demands attention all the way through the video! Really liked it the length of this video, Keep going with that 😉
TIL: I am a superposition of knowing what the hell you’re talking about and not knowing what the hell you’re talking about.
Finally a minute physic video where I knew the concept before the video, now I can die in peace. Also 10-15 min video > short video and
That would be funny if the matrix exists and we're trying to make sense of physics when that's not even the real physics. Then we wake up and everything is fucked up and doesn't make sense to us because the rules of everything fundamental that we know are different. o_O
Aidan Maley I've thought of that before too
You might be interesting in reading about cartesian or academic skepticism.
That why pragmatism is the best approach to science. Who cares about the metaphysics, just do the thing.
what if gravity pushed you away instead of pulling you
Mr Slayz, LMFAO the most powerful known psychedelic substance is DMT, and it's not really "where we go" but more of "what gets opened up to us in terms of perception" since it's a conscious/subconscious journey, not a physical one.
I love the detail!!! Thank you!
9:26rip stickman-clone pixelated to death.
Henry has discovered the KZhead algorithm.
DrBuffaloBalls hahahahahah
Love this in depth explanation man definitely keeping this as a reference for the future
I liked that CGP Grey plug haha. Mind stretching videos. Enjoyed per usual. :)
I did very much enjoy this video. Would love to see more
3Blue1Brown is very underrated
I am happy as long as we can still teleport stuff.
Willdabeast we can’t teleport. There was a whole theory but basically when something disappeared from a place, the sound waves would move way too fast and I would basically make a really loud sound that would make everyone around deaf (something like that)
how about teleporting bread ?
EndranExit i have no idea
we can teleport via quantum entanglement but who wants to teleport the possibility of a dead cat?
We can teleport, a while back they teleported particles from I think England to France instantaneously through quantum entanglement, but if we were to teleport humans we would have to rip away every atom from our bodies and entangle it, and then reconstruct our bodies atom by atom, and then there’s the question of even if all the atoms are the same, is it still us? Is consciousness a simple matter of atoms? Or something we don’t yet understand?
Really, it's clarity of explanatin that's more imprtant than 'proper time' video length. So a longer video, with the same clarityh as you give, would be ... more infrmative! Thhis is a Good Thing!
Love your videos. One suggestion. I’m old enough that my hearing isn’t as good as it once was. Background music, especially with higher frequencies and volume, makes it harder to understand what you’re saying. However, I really love the string bass you often use, and it doesn’t interfere with your message.
I like how you used CGP Grey's Icon when talking about an ideal future.
Love the longer format (and the sly CGPGrey reference)!
I'm suddenly reminded of Terry Pratchett's "Going Postal" which had the mail sorting engine that tapped into the space-time continuum and emitted mail from the future, mail from alternate universes, and notes people swore they had written and posted but never did.
great video! love the videos about quantum mechanics!
Great! I really liked this long format video!
minute physics was about taking something complex and making it bite sized and easy to understand. 10 minutes of super positions, quantum mechanics, uncertainty principles etc might just be too much
something as complex as quantum mechanics explained in 10 minutes is still quite succinct. 10 minutes is still quite bite sized for a dish like physics.
Sir Big Balls Are you kdding me this was extremely simple to understand, it was as dumbed down as possible.
That was amazing. Of course, watching this video might be just a scratch on real understanding of no cloning theorem, but it was very carefully explained.
I love how this principle neatly solves the problem of teleportation that says, if teleportation involves copying you and placing that copy in some destination then the destination you is only a copy. And what's more, you could leave the original behind and not destroy it meaning there's 2 of you. So which is the real one. This principle says that that's not possible and that whichever one is identical at the quantum level to you before the teleportation is the real one.
I definetly vote for the LONGER videos!!!
Wow, a 10-min video?! It is like it's Christmas again!
7:42 Look-It! CGPgrey! Two of my favorite explanatory YT channels in one place. Get Fact Fiend here, that’d be all three...
Love this video... yes you should do more like this one!!!
Really appreciate your using Dirac notation and using actual mathematical theorems in the video :) Makes it more accurate while still accessible.
I 100% want more videos like this.
That's exactly how I would tell! Wow, I'm impressed by level of exactliness!
It’s 10^100^100 % ok to have longer videos Do keep them coming 👍
"minute" physics jkjk this is WAY better
That moment when you thought you were good at maths, lmao no
Are you in third grade?
Not that easy. |A> and |B> is actually functions (or wave functions), and the rule of addition and multiplication is not exactly the same as numbers (that we learn in fourth grade).
I love it! Make more like this
Love this channel!
So i thought the title was "No Clothing" but this is way more interesting.
I was gonna make a joke about cloning, but someone might copy it.
