Chances are you have fallen for at least one of 10 quantum myths

SMRTR summary

Common misconceptions about quantum physics persist despite over a century of scientific understanding, including false beliefs that quantum effects only occur at small scales, that entanglement enables faster-than-light communication, and that Einstein rejected quantum mechanics entirely. These myths obscure the true nature of quantum phenomena, which can manifest macroscopically in superconductors and superfluids while maintaining fundamental uncertainties only between specific paired quantities.
