Hi,

​

Thanks for coming here.

​

My name is Mat and ​I love to know, read and create intellectual content in the form of blogs, images and animations.

​

I also write a weekly newsletter for the tribe of "Quantum Thinker" to educate my followers and readers.

​​

We all are short of time and short attention. ⚠️

​​

​And...

​​

​​If you are interested not missing anything you can still subscribe to weekly newsletter. You can also my read previous articles.

​

But why are you interested in joining my tribe? 🤔

• May be you want to become smart​

• May be you want to become healthy

• May be you want to become rich.

​

Anything which is not in this list.

​

Ok enough talk lets find out what is Quantum Thinking and why we need this in VUCA world.

​

Let's find out what is VUCA.​

​

What is VUCA?

We all live in a VUCA world which is:

​​​

• Volatile – The world is always changing in big ways, affecting everything at the same time.

• Uncertain – It’s hard to fully understand what’s happening now, and no one can be sure about the future.

• Complex – Many things are connected in a confusing way, making situations hard to control.

• Ambiguous – We can never fully understand everything, so there is always some uncertainty.

​​

This resulted in two psychological disorders:

​​

FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) - A natural human tendency from our primal desire fear and greed.

FUD (Fear Uncertainty Doubt) - A common term used in the cryptocurrency industry.

​

Solution is ...

​

BE A 'QUANTUM THINKER'

​​

We cannot rely on trial & tested methods.

​

So, we need to learn and adapt new ideas which enforce us to continuously think in counter-intuitive loop, called as "Quantum Thinking".

 

Following are common variations of same thinking.

• Continuous Yes/No,

• Contrarian Thinking

• Paradox Mindset

• Agile Mindset.

• Yin Yang

 

If you want the complete list of top 25 examples of Quantum Thinking Read my article on Inversion Mental Model. 

​​

But I inspired Quantum Thinking from Physics where there is a concept of Quantum Superposition which I took and build my own thinking.

​

Lets find out what is Quantum Superposition.

​

Scientific Proof of Quantum Thinking in Physics​​

Before getting deep dive lets break into pieces

​

Quantum is the tiniest amount of any physical quantity involved in any interaction with other particle.

 

Quantum comes from Latin, meaning "an amount" or "how much?" If something is quantifiable, then it can be measured.

​​​​

For that let's understand two most popular phenomenon from Physics:

​

1. Light has dual nature of both particle and wave at the same time, proved by Niels Bohr (American Physicist), called 'Quantum Superposition'.

​​

2. Albert Einstein (Most renowned scientist till date) contemplated how an object could be both at rest and moving depending on the position of the observer, a consideration called 'Theory of Relativity'.​

​

Now, let's do an experiment!

 

Focus on one white dot in the below square, you will observe black dots emerged around it.

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

 

A basic example of Quantum Thinking. It is called Hermann grid an optical illusion reported by Ludimar Hermann in 1870 characterized by "ghostlike" grey blobs perceived at the intersections of a white (or light-coloured) grid on a black background.​​​​​​​​​​

 

Now you understand what is Quantum Thinking?

Quantum thinking is defined as the ability to have two opposing thoughts at the same moment and act on the appropriate notion at the right time.

​

In other words, one must be able to see beyond a simplistic true or false worldview. It is the acceptance that truth does not always have to make sense.

​

Truth is unchangeable, whether we accept it or reject it.  There are probabilities that can happen at any time, and the world isn't just 0 or 1. 

​​

Quantum thinking enables you to become more empathic (one of the most overpaid qualities for some leaders in many firms of various sizes) while also avoiding tunnel vision concerns.

​​

It broadens your perspective of the world around you, allowing you to consider not only yourself, but also the influence your decisions will have on others.

These talents are essential for success if you want to be an innovator, a change agent and development facilitator, or an entrepreneur.

​​

Why we need to be Quantum Thinker?

Quantum Thinkers are people who have the ability to see many perspectives altogether at once or see them individually.

 

They collect perspectives like a kid collects candies and behave opposite of people who always have hammer as a solution when looking at nail.

​​

As a result, they have following superpowers...

 

• Understand both sides to avoid mistakes. (fewer blind spots)

• Connect faraway ideas (more breakthrough ideas)

• Think in new ways (more revelatory experiences)

• Learn and grow quickly (higher maturity)

• Be more caring (deeper relationships)

​​

​A quantum thinker can be described by following types and much more...

• POLYMATH: Learns across disciplines.

• WISE MIND: Synthesize emotional, kinaesthetic and rational mind.

• THINKER / DOER: Go deep on theory and translate into real world results.

• DEEP / SURFACE: Sees reality at a concrete, sense level and as deep abstractions.

• DISCOVER & DEVELOP: Balances exploring new worlds with making the most of existing ones.

• TIME: Can think very short-term and forward/backward hundreds of years.

​

Evolution of the Quantum Thinker.

​Quantum Thinker thinks in 4th Dimension:

​​

1. Dimension 1: Focus on one field (specialization)

2. ​Dimension 2: Learn across disciplines, apply to a specialty (polymath)

3. ​Dimension 3: Think vertically from hacks to principles (mental models)

4. ​Dimension 4: Think hundreds of years into the past and future (time)
