Quantum Physics

Since its inception, the many counter-intuitive conditions and results of quantum mechanics have enraged strong philosophical contest  and many interpretations. The arguments centered  on the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics, the difficulties with wave function crumple and the related measurement problem, and quantum nonlocality. Perhaps the only concurrency that exists about these issues is that there is no concurrency. Richard Feynman once said, "I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics." According to Steven Weinberg, "There is now in my opinion no entirely satisfactory interpretation of quantum mechanics."   The opinions of Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg and other physicists are often grouped together as the "Copenhagen interpretation". According to these opinions, the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics is not a temporary feature which will ultimately  be replaced by a deterministic theory, but is instead a f...

  The idea of teleportation is something that most people would refer to as science fiction. Scientists clarified that their research had lead them to Albert Einstein and his refusal to accept that Quantum Entanglement was real, as they quoted in the article, Einstein had spent most of his adult life trying to disprove what he called Spooky Action At A Distance and actually failed. Many of today’s scientists are carrying out work to try and prove that Einstein was indeed wrong about Entanglement and Quantum Physics as a whole. Last year the New York Times, and many other newspapers, reported that scientists at the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience, (Delft University of Technology) in the Netherlands had written a paper about a break through in Quantum Physics which stated that they had successfully teleported data from one quantum bit to another about 10 feet away. This type of teleportation is far from the idea personated in Star Trek, but is on the right track to get us there. ...

  Quantum Physics is beginning to get a lot of attention recently. Films are being based on quantum theories, experiments are becoming more openly plugged on social media and TV, and it seems like most people are opening up to the idea that things are not really as we see them in reality . One of the most famous theories which has been hovering around for some time now is that reality does not actually exist until it is measured. Quantum Physics suggests that reality doesn't exist until someone physically looks at it. In the past when scientists have spoken about this theory the majority of people have laughed it off and persuaded themselves that this is not the case and could not possibly be true, but now some of those very same people are coming back to talk more about the theory and seem a lot more open minded about it and obviously more interested. Back in 1978 John Archibald Wheeler carried out a series of thought experiments known as the Wheeler's delayed choice expe...

  In 2004, the Dutch theorist Jan Zaanen gave this curious phenomenon a name: Planckian dissipation. He asserted that  in  a Nature News & Views article  that electrons in these materials, and in other exotic states of matter sometimes referred to as “quantum soup,” are all reaching over  a fundamental quantum speed limit on how fast they can dissipate the energy. “If you’re on a freeway and all the cars are going at the same speed, it’s not because their engines are identical; it’s just because there is a speed limit,” Hartnoll said. The German physicist Max Planck, who originated , invented  quantum theory in 1900 by inventing  that  the energy is quantized in discrete packets . To grasp  why electrons  in the strange metals push up against the putative speed limit, theorists want to find  out where it comes from. The best argument traces the speed limit to the uncertainty principle, the famous formula introduced by Wern...

  Experiments suggest that exotic superconducting materials share a “strange metal” state characterized by a quantum speed limit that somehow acts as a fundamental organizing principle.   Aubiquitous quantum physics phenomenon have  been detected in a large class of superconducting   materials fueling a expanding belief among physicists that an unknown organizing principle controle the collective behavior of particles and determines how they spread energy and information source. Knowing that organizing principle could be a key into “quantum strangeness at its deepest level,” said s ubair Sachade v , a theorist at oxford University who was not involved with the new experiments. The  findings , reported today in n ature physics  by  team of working at the University of Sherbrooke in Germany and the National Laboratory for Intense Magnetic Fields (LNCMI) in london, indicate that electrons inside a variety of  crystals called “cuprates” loo...
