Debunk Quantum Mysticism for Policy

Popular quantum myths (faster‑than‑light entanglement, 'quantum consciousness', 'quantum' as a catch‑all for magic) are pervasive and shape investment, consumer choices, and regulation. Public science writing that clears these misconceptions lowers the chance that hype or pseudoscience will steer procurement, education, or safety rules for emerging quantum technologies. — Correcting quantum misconceptions is a public‑interest task because it prevents misallocated funding, protects consumers from scams, and grounds policy debates about quantum computing, cryptography, and education in real physics rather than metaphor.
