Aww, look, I've found his piccie.

And he's Professor Derek to us...

Derek is a real hoot.

Anyone want to play his Superposition Game with me:

I thought up what I call the superposition game back in 2004 as a gedanken device for exploring the foundations of quantum mechanics. The game is to sit down any physicist in the world and get him/her to list all the physical quantities he/she can think of. Then put the quantities into two groups: (i) those that can exist in a quantum superposition, and (ii) those that cannot

I think I met Derek once, in a club circa 1989.

Suffice to say we didn't take it any further

MmeLindt . Only on mumsnet could a discussion about animal sounds turn into a discussion about quantum mechanics

I've copy & pasted Derek's game for next time I am stuck in traffic with the dc

I, for one, am very surprised that a particle number can exist in a quantum superposition. Who would have thought it?

Actually, these are really interesting!

Perhaps we ought to set up a Derek Fan Club?

Those of you on FB, prepare to poke:
