Eric's current research specialization includes breakthrough propulsion physics, general relativity and quantum field theories, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), spacecraft exploration of the outer solar system, and space energy (Space Technology & Applications International Forum 2007), and authored several papers and reports on traversable wormholes, warp drives, laser propulsion, teleportation physics and advanced propulsion concepts. The Bohr–Einstein debates were a series of public disputes about quantum mechanics between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, who were two of its founders. Published scientific research indicates that if a quantum computer of appropriate size could be built then it would have the potential to weaken the protection of modern cryptographic schemes. €�The physics that we use in research is qualitatively different than what we use in research”. Adam Frank: Quantum information theory is a sub-topic of quantum physics, and it is the theory upon which all of our modern technological wizardry is based on. Fixed now , though I was I don't know enough about chemistry to compare what I learned in my general chem courses versus modern research: some of it, like gas laws and such, are probably in the same boat. €�Who would have guessed that the emergence of our universe's four-dimensional spacetime from the quantum vacuum would have anything to do with the growth of the Internet? Hitting “Publish” rather than “Save” when a student came in with a question. Although quantum effects may be But matter wave interferometry with larger objects has remained experimentally challenging, despite the development of powerful atom interferometric techniques for experiments in fundamental quantum mechanics, metrology and lithography6. Many of the ideas Smolin is arguing for are clearly labeled as what they are: speculative challenges from a very much minority point of view to some of the received wisdom of this kind of science. Jeff Bezos and the CIA have recently announced that they are providing funding to a Canadian-based company, D-Wave Systems, that is entirely focused on overcoming the quantum computing challenge. For digital natives That's been a daunting challenge — so far. I've been teaching a course this past year on quantum mechanics for mathematicians, emphasizing the role of Lie groups, unitary representations and symmetries in providing not only useful calculational methods, but .. Faust in Copenhagen is an exceptionally thorough account of the emergence of modern quantum mechanics over the years from 1925 to 1933, aimed at a general reader — which is to say, there are no equations. The debates represent one of the highest points of scientific research in the first half of the twentieth century because it called attention to an element of quantum theory, quantum non-locality, which is absolutely central to our modern understanding of the physical world. The theoretical foundations of the subject had been laid down in the first three decades of the century, from Max Planck's great 1900 paper implying the quantization of energy through Pauli's postulating of the neutrino (Gino Segrè's research specialty) at the end of 1930. 5) This is a good research program to pursue. In December, American physicist David Wineland and French physicist Serge Haroche will travel to Stockholm to share the 2012 physics honors for work their teams have done separately on the subject. Few modern physicists think that classical physics has equal status with quantum mechanics; it is but a useful approximation of a world that is quantum at all scales.
