Why do quantum systems remember their past? ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Local reminiscence in the PXP model"
Scientists have found quantum states that don't forget their initial configuration.

Quantum systems usually forget everything, like coffee stirred into milk. But physicists have found exceptions: special 'scars' in atomic lattices that hold memory, like frozen ripples on water. This could lead to quantum computers that don't lose information.
🎯 Atoms in such experiments are comparable in size to bacteria — up to thousandths of a millimeter.
🎬 In Peter Watts' sci-fi novel 'Blindsight,' an alien ship uses quantum states to preserve consciousness — perhaps quantum scars could form the basis of such technology.
