Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it.
– Niels Bohr
I think I can safely say that no one understands quantum mechanics.
– Richard Feynman
but it is certainly the case that, though we know how to do the sums, we do not understand the theory as fully as we should. We shall see in what follows that important interpretative issues remain unresolved. They will demand for their eventual settlement not only physical insight but also metaphysical decision.

So every time we turn off our mobile phones, USB sticks, memory drives or data centres, all the stored data doesn’t get wiped. Quantum mechanics delivers again.
And every time you write data onto NAND Flash, you’re using one of the most surprising and successful predictions of quantum mechanics. I’m referring to barrier penetration, or tunnelling, which allows a low-energy particle to penetrate a high potential-energy barrier.
