Einstein: "God doesn't play dice with the universe." (comment to Neils Bohr on his initial impressions of quantum physics)

Bohr: "Stop telling God what to do with his dice."

Anderson: "God does indeed play dice with the universe . . . He just knows all the outcomes."

I again would highly recommend some basic familiarity with quantum physics and quantum computing. Just watching these 2 videos is really enough for you to understand what is happening: 1.
