Scientists have created a Back to the Future-style device that can predict alternative realities and potential futures. Scientists have created a much smaller real-life version of the famed DeloreanUnlike classical particles, quantum particles can travel in a quantum superposition of different directions. His research group realised that, at a much smaller scale, a quantum computer can examine all possible futures of a decision process. It does this by placing them in a quantum 'superposition' - a kind of limbo in which different potential states occur simultaneously. In the new study, potential future outcomes of a decision process were represented by the locations of photons.
