One of the major open problems in theoretical physics is understanding the emergence of classicality from underlying

quantum principles. These seemingly peculiar principles are directly at odds with our classical intuition since they are

absent in our familiar physical reality. However, within the framework of Quantum Darwinism, the well-studied features of

quantum mechanics such as superposition and entanglement are the building blocks of nature that explain and account

for our classical everyday observations, hence our perception of classicality.
