A Conversation with Jesse Berezovsky
Michael Peres sits down with Jesse Berezovsky, professor of physics at Case Western Reserve University, to explore quantum mechanics, music, intelligence, and the strange foundations of reality. From building room-temperature quantum systems to creating CatLand and even developing a physics-based approach to music theory, Jesse brings an unusually wide lens to some of science’s deepest questions. The uploaded transcript focuses on his path into lab physics, his many-worlds view of quantum mechanics, room-temperature quantum technology, AGI, and the surprising overlap between physics and music.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How Jesse fell in love with physics by working hands-on in a lab and learning quantum mechanics through building
• Why he sees many-worlds as a compelling interpretation of quantum mechanics and what that means for reality
• What makes scalable room-temperature quantum technology so hard, and why new platforms still matter
• How music, phase transitions, and human cognition overlap in ways most people never consider
• Why Jesse is skeptical that current LLMs are the right path to AGI, despite rapid progress
