TL;DR Summary
In the 1990s “second quantum revolution,” physicists began treating quantum mechanics as a principle theory, much like Einstein reframed relativity. Building on Rovelli’s challenge, information theorists such as Hardy showed that quantum features like superposition and entanglement follow necessarily from the observer-independence of Planck’s constant...

Well I'll be danged. One wonders why this result is so little known.

I'm too cheap to buy the book, which I wouldn't understand anyway.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
